CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

The windows and wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the wipers

do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle’s glass or the wiper

blades may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and

streaking and smearing of the windshield. To clean these items, follow

these tips:

• The windows may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as

Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner.

• The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or

Motorcraft® Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or

Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure to

replace wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function

properly.

• Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.

• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.

If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner

or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer

surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft

cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After

cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The

windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield

with water.

Note: Do not use sharp objects, such as a razor blade, to clean the

inside of the rear window or to remove decals, as it may cause damage

to the rear window defroster’s heated grid lines.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

WARNING: Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the

vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt

webbing.

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do

not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products

could contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the

side airbag in a crash.
