WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield
wipers.
Note:Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a
car wash.
Note:Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave
streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.
Note:Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch
the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out.
Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.
Rotate the end of the control away
from you to increase the speed of
the wipers. Rotate toward you to
decrease the speed of the wipers.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:Operating wipers on a dry windshield can scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always
use the windshield washer before wiping a dry windshield.
Note:Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat.
Press the end of the stalk to switch
on the washer.
•A brief press causes a single wipe without washer fluid.
•A quick press and hold causes the wipers to swipe three times with
washer fluid.
•A long press and hold switches on the wipers and washer fluid for up
to 10 seconds.

FUEL FILTER
Gasoline Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is part of the fuel
tank. You do need to perform regular maintenance or replace it.
Diesel Engine
WARNING:Do not drain water separator while engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if separator is drained while engine is
running or vehicle is moving.
The fuel filter water separator removes any contaminated particles and
water from the fuel before the fuel enters the engine.
See your engine operator’s manual for information on draining and
replacing the fuel filter.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
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.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. Only use a washer fluid
that meets Ford specifications. SeeTechnical specificationsin the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive. Only
use washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents if they
provide cold weather protection without damaging your vehicle’s paint
finish, wiper blades or washer system.
CHANGING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING:This vehicle may be equipped with more than one
battery, removal of cable from only one battery does not
disconnect the vehicle electrical system. Be sure to disconnect cables
from all batteries when disconnecting power. Failure to do so may
cause serious personal injury or property damage.

4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn on the air conditioning and allow the engine to idle for at least
one minute.
6. Release the parking brake. With your foot on the brake pedal and
with the air conditioning on, put the transmission in positionP
(automatic transmission) or neutral (manual transmission) and allow
the engine to idle for at least one minute.Note:Not allowing the
engine to relearn the idle trim may adversely affect the idle quality of
your vehicle until the engine eventually relearns the idle trim.
7. Drive your vehicle to complete the relearning process.
If you disconnect the battery or install a new battery, you have to reset
the clock and radio settings after reconnecting the battery.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center to
find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
1. To remove the wiper blade, pull
the wiper arm away from your
vehicle. Pry open the lock cover
(A) with your thumb to release
the blade.
2. Press the retaining clip to
disengage the wiper blade, and
then pull the wiper blade down
(C) toward the windshield to
remove it from the arm.
3. To install the new wiper blade,
insert the wiper blade into the
wiper arm hook (B).
4. While holding the wiper arm,
push the wiper blade up and
away from the windshield.
5. Close the lock cover.
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. SeeCleaning the windows and wiper bladesin theVehicle
Carechapter.
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 rubber element.
AIR FILTER CHECK
Diesel Engine
See your engine operator’s manual for information on the engine air
filter.
Gasoline Engine
Note:Do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is running.

CLEANING THE ENGINE
Note:To prevent damage to the engine control module, never
spray-wash it directly. Never spray any connector.
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
build-up keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
•Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that
require cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In Canada, use Motorcraft
Engine Shampoo.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in
the running engine may cause internal damage.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
Clean the windows and wiper blades regularly. If the wipers do not wipe
properly, substances on your 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:
•Clean the windows 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 United
States, 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.

manual. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for supplemental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
Periodic Component and System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. Bring any deficiencies to the
attention of an authorized dealer or another qualified service outlet as
soon as possible to obtain advice about the need for service or
replacement.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts

Observation Maintenance Operation
Cleaning the wiper blades with a
clean cloth and mild detergent and
washing with a cleaner does not
restore a clean wipe.Replace wiper blades.
Noisy or difficult to operate. Lubricate body lock cylinders.
Headlamp beams in wrong position
when vehicle operating loaded.Check headlamp alignment.
Windshield washers do not spray
when operated.Check windshield washer fluid
level. Add fluid if required.
1During maintenance and repair, protect the fuel tube and the hose
assemblies, power steering lines, and brake lines from external heat,
acids and abrasions that could damage them.
2Check for (free) linkage action and make sure that (return) spring force
is adequate to maintain pedal free play.
3Adjust, repair or replace, as required, with the same or equivalent parts.
Emissions Control System
WARNING:Because of high engine compartment and exhaust
system temperatures resulting from emissions equipment, do not
park, idle or operate your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground
cover where the possibility of ground fire exists.
To make sure the emissions control systems operate effectively, you
should have the services listed in the maintenance schedule performed at
the specified time and mileage intervals. You should avoid running out of
fuel or turning off the ignition when your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.
Do not make unauthorized modifications to the engine or vehicle.
Modifications causing increased amounts of unburned fuel to reach the
exhaust system can significantly increase the temperature of the engine
compartment and the exhaust system.
Avoid driving your vehicle if it does not operate properly. If the engine
diesels (more than five seconds of engine run-on after shut-off), misfires,
surges, stalls or backfires, see an authorized dealer. Be alert for fluid
leakage, odor, smoke, loss of oil pressure, or charge indicator or over
temperature warning.
