fuel filter location LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 2001 Owners Manual

5. Remove the filter. Reverse the
procedure to install the new filter.
Be careful when installing the new filter. Avoid bending or tearing the
filter and make sure it is fully seated in its mounting location after
installation.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check the wiper blades at least twice a year or when they seem less
effective. Substances such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments used
by commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.
Checking the wiper blades
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.
