WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

Washer fluid

Check the washer fluid whenever
you stop for fuel. The reservoir is
highlighted with a

symbol.

If the level is low, add enough fluid
to fill the reservoir. In very cold
weather, do not fill the reservoir all
the way.

Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford specification . Refer to
Lubricant specifications in the Capacities and specifications 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.

Note: Do not put washer fluid in the engine coolant reservoir. Washer
fluid placed in the cooling system may harm engine and cooling system
components.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for the appropriate intervals
for changing the air filter element.

When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter
element listed. Refer to Motorcraft Part Numbers.

Note: Do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is running.
