operation you desire.
*
[SC05200(ALL)08/95]
To clean the windshield, push in the end of the
wiper knob. For a constant spray, keep the knob
pushed in. After you release the knob, the
wipers operate for two to three cycles before
turning off (if wipers were off) or returning to
the selected setting.
[SC05250(ALL)06/95]
NOTE: The addition of shields to the front of
the vehicle (e.g., bug shields) may
adversely affect the windshield washer
system from delivering fluid to the
windshield. Devices such as bug
shields are not recommended for your
Ford vehicle.
*
[SC05300(ALL)01/95]
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.
*
[SC05400(ALL)01/93]
RWARNING
In freezing weather, the washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and obscure
your vision. Always warm up the
windshield with the defroster before you
use the washer fluid. If you cannot see
through the windshield clearly, it can
increase the risk of being involved in a
collision.

[SV23850(ALL)01/95]
Use specially formulated windshield washer
fluid rather than plain water, because specially
formulated washer fluids contain additives that
dissolve road grime. For safety reasons, washer
fluids containing an appropriate antifreeze such
as methanol should be used in freezing weather
(temperatures below32ÊF [0ÊC]).State or local
regulations on Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's) may restrict use of the most common
antifreeze, methanol. 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, and windshield washer system.
*
[SV23900(ALL)10/89]
If you choose to use a windshield washing
solution that must be mixed, follow the
manufacturer's mixing instructions. Improperly
mixed solutions may freeze unexpectedly.

Checking/adding the washer fluid for the
liftgate
[SV24400(ALL)03/95]
Check the liftgate washer reservoir regularly.
This is not the same reservoir your front
windshield wipers use. The opening for this
reservoir is on the right side of the liftgate above
the tail lamp. A fill cup is located on top of the
right hand tail lamp and is accessible when the
liftgate is open. Close the fill cup cover after
filling and before closing the liftgate. Refill this
reservoir with the same solution you use for
your windshield. To find out how much washer
fluid the liftgate reservoir holds, seeRefill
capacitiesin the Index.
