WINDSHIELD WIPERS
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.
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.
AUTOWIPERS Adjust the rotary control to increase or
decrease the sensitivity of the rain sensor. On
the lowest sensitivity setting, the wipers turn
on when there is a large amount of moisture
on the windshield. On the highest sensitivity
setting, the wipers turn on when there is a
small amount of moisture on the windshield.Autowipers uses a rain sensor, located near
the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors
the amount of moisture on the windshield. It
turns on the wipers and adjusts the wiper
speed by the amount of moisture that the
sensor detects on the windshield. You can
turn this feature on and off in the information
display. See General Information (page
89).
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The
rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around
the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the
windshield.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch 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: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low beam
headlamps will turn on automatically when
the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers
continuously.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK
WARNINGS
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death. Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system damage
or failure. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in the loss of vehicle control,
serious personal injury or death. Do not allow the fluid to touch your skin
or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with plenty
of water and contact your physician. A fluid level between the MAX and
MIN lines is within the normal
operating range and there is no need
to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal
operating range could compromise the
performance of the system. Have your vehicle
checked immediately. To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir
cap must remain in place and fully tight,
unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets Ford specifications.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page
296). POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering (EPS) system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill.
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. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 296).
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.

MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MaintenanceE170684

After battery replacement, or in some cases
after charging the battery with an external
charger, the battery management system
requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to
relearn the battery state of charge. During
this time your vehicle must remain fully
locked with the ignition switched off.
Note:
Prior to relearning the battery state of
charge, the battery management system may
temporarily disable some electrical systems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection directly
to the battery negative post. This can cause
inaccurate measurements of the battery
condition and potential incorrect system
operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect battery performance and durability. This
may also affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle. 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
Replace the wiper blades at least annually
for optimum performance.
You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the windshield.
See Cleaning the Windows and Wiper
Blades (page 265). Changing the Windshield Wiper
Blades
Note:
Do not hold the wiper blade when lifting
the wiper arm.
Note: Make sure that the wiper arm does not
spring back against the glass when the wiper
blade is not attached. 1. Lift the wiper arm and then press the
wiper blade locking buttons together.
2. Slightly rotate the wiper blade.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. Install in the reverse order.
Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place.

WAXING
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
When washing and waxing, park your vehicle
in a shaded area out of direct sunlight. Always
wash your vehicle before applying wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.
• Follow the manufacturer ’s instructions
to apply and remove the wax.
• Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
• Do not allow wax to come in contact with
any non-body (low-gloss black) colored
trim. The wax will discolor or stain the
parts over time.
•Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side moldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area. •
Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint should feel
smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup 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. •
Never wash or rinse any ignition coil, spark
plug wire or spark plug well, or the area
in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution box,
and air filter assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
265
MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Vehicle Care

To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive
glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior
of the windshield, avoid getting any glass
cleaner on the instrument panel or door
panels. Wipe any glass cleaner off these
surfaces immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with tree
sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the
entire windshield using steel wool (no
greater than 0000 grade) in a circular
motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other sharp
objects to clean or remove decals from the
inside of the heated rear window. The vehicle
warranty does not cover damage caused to
the heated rear window grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or
dye on the vehicle
’s safety belts, as
these actions may weaken the belt
webbing. WARNINGS
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 collision. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts
and seats equipped with side airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength Carpet
& Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the material,
spot-clean the area first with Motorcraft
Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use
Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate)
or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning products
or glass cleaners, which can stain and
discolor the fabric and affect the flame
retardant abilities of the seat materials. CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS WARNING
Do not use chemical solvents or strong
detergents when cleaning the steering
wheel or instrument panel to avoid
contamination of the airbag system. Note:
Follow the same procedure as cleaning
leather seats for cleaning leather instrument
panels and leather interior trim surfaces. See
Cleaning Leather Seats (page 267).
Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens
with a clean, damp and soft cloth, then use
a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry these areas.
• Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase
the gloss of the upper portion of the
instrument panel. The dull finish in this
area helps protect you from undesirable
windshield reflection.
• Do not use any household cleaning
products or glass cleaners as these may
damage the finish of the instrument
panel, interior trim and cluster lens.
