selected.

[CF29900( ALL)03/96]
If the washer does not work, check the washer
fluid level and fill it if it is low. See the
Maintenance and Carechapter. If there is enough
fluid, consult your nearest Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
*
[CF30000( ALL)08/95]
Do not try to clean the windshield when the
washer fluid container is empty or activate the
washers at any time for more than 15 seconds
continuously. This could damage the washer
pump system.

NOTE: The addition of shields to the front of
the vehicle, as used to deflect bugs,
may also adversely affect the washer
system from delivering fluid to the
windshield. Devices such as bug
shields are not recommended.

[CF30100( ALL)01/96]
RWARNING
Always warm up the windshield with the
defroster before you use the washer fluid.
