WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
The fluid reservoir is located on the
far right side of the instrument
panel, accessible by opening the
passenger’s door. 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 specification WSB-M8B16–A2.
Refer to
Lubricant specifications
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 (4°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
To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper element.
The wiper blades should be replaced every six months for optimum
performance.
