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

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the

vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle

from the wiper arm. Press the lock

tab to release the blade and pull the

wiper blade down toward the

windshield to remove it from the

arm.

2. Attach the new wiper to the

wiper arm and press it into place

until a click is heard.

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

Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the

windshield. Refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning

chapter.
