Wiper blade maintenance
*
[SV24100(ALL)03/95]
Check the windshield wiper blades at least twice
a year. Also check them whenever they seem
less effective than usual. Such substances as tree
sap and some hot wax treatments used by
commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness
of wiper blades.
*
[SV24200(ALL)03/95]
If the blades do not wipe properly, clean both
the windshield and the wiper blades. Use
undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Do
not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents to clean your wiper blades. These will
damage your blades.
*
[SV24300(ALL)02/95]
To make reaching the wiper blades easy, simply
turn the ignition switch to ACC and turn your
wipers on. Wait for them to reach a vertical
position and turn the ignition to OFF. Do not
move the wipers manually. Moving the wipers
manually may damage them.

Wiper blade replacement
*
[SV24500(ALL)01/95]
If the wipers still do not work properly after
you clean them, you may need to replace the
wiper blade assembly. When replacing the wiper
blade assembly always use a Motorcraft part or
equivalent.
*
[SV24525(ALL)10/93]
To replace the wiper blades:
*
[SV24535(ALL)04/95]
1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
windshield and lock into the service position.
*
[SV24550(ALL)03/94]
2. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper
arm. Push the lock pin with a screwdriver to
release the blade and pull the wiper blade
down toward the windshield to remove it
from the arm.

RWARNING
Driving too fast for conditions creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
Driving at very high speeds for extended
periods of time may result in damage to
vehicle components.
[SV25600(ALL)03/95]
At least once a month, check the pressure in all
your vehicle's tires, including the spare. Use an
accurate tire pressure gauge. Check the tire
pressure when tires are cold, that is, after the
vehicle has been parked for at least one hour or
has been driven less than 3 miles (5 km).
[SV25700(ALL)03/94]
You can find your vehicle's proper tire inflation
pressure on the tire decal on the right door lock
pillar.

[SV25850(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle
handling and can fail suddenly, possibly
resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Tire inspection and maintenance
*
[SV25880(ALL)02/95]
Inspect the tire treads, and remove stones, nails,
glass or other objects that may be wedged in the
tread grooves. Check for holes or cuts that may
permit air to leak from the tire, and make the
necessary repairs.
