WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the

level is low. In very cold weather, do

not fill the reservoir completely.

Only use a washer fluid that meets

Ford specifications. Do not use any

special washer fluid such as

windshield water repellent type fluid

or bug wash. They may cause

squeaking, chatter noise, streaking and smearing. Refer to Maintenance

product specifications and capacities in this chapter.

State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the

use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive.

Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used

only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging the

vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.

WARNING: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below

40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to

use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in

impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES

The wiper arms can be manually moved when the ignition is off. This

allows for ease of blade replacement and cleaning under the blades.

1. Turn the ignition off before

removing the wiper blade.

2. Pull the wiper blade and arm

away from the glass.

3. Squeeze the locking tabs to

release the blade from the arm and

pull the blade away from the arm to

remove it.

4. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap it into place. Lower the wiper

arm and blade back to the windshield. The wiper arms will automatically

return to their normal position when the ignition is turned on.

Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance.
