11. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.
Note:If you do not allow the engine to relearn the idle and fuel trim
strategy, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the
engine computer eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trim strategy.
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
Note:Use the service position in winter to provide easier access to the
front wiper blades for freeing them from snow and ice. The front wipers
will not return to their normal position as soon as you switch on the
ignition. The front wipers will stay in the service position when you
switch the ignition on or start the engine. Switch on the front wipers to
any mode, then switch off the front wipers to bring the front wipers back
to the park position.
Note:The windshield wiper blades are different in length. If you install
wiper blades of the wrong length, the wipers may not work correctly.
If equipped with autowipers, the rain sensor may not work correctly.

seating on the mounting studs in (5) places and securing with the (2) bolts
may result in air cleaner assembly dislodgement from engine and damage
to the air cleaner assembly and other engine components. Therefore we
recommend that the air filter be serviced at a Ford dealer.
When changing the air filter element, use only the air filter element
listed. Refer toMotorcraft® part numbersin theCapacities and
Specificationschapter.

changing the air filter element.
Note:Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
The windows and wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the wipers
do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle’s glass or the wiper
blades may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and
streaking and smearing of the windshield. To clean these items,
follow these tips:
•The windows may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner.
•
The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
Motorcraft® Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or
Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure to replace
wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function properly.
•Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
•Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner
or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer
surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft
cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After
cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The
windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield
with water.
Note:Do not use sharp objects, such as a razor blade, to clean the
inside of the rear window or to remove decals, as it may cause damage
to the rear window defroster’s heated grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
WARNING:Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the
vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt
webbing.
WARNING: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 crash.

Removing Vehicle from Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:
•Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on
window surfaces.
•Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
•Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage (mice or squirrel nests).
•Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage.
•Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Drive the vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m ) back
and forth to remove rust build-up.
•Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil and gas) to make sure there
are no leaks and fluids are at recommended levels.
Note:If you disconnected the negative battery cable and closed the
liftgate fully, you will need to connect a 12 volt power supply to the
jump start prongs under the hood so that you can open the liftgate.
SeeJump-Starting the Vehiclein theRoadside Emergencieschapter.
Low voltage battery (except C-MAX Energi)
Complete the following steps:
1. Check and recharge the low voltage battery as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
2. If you disconnected the negative battery cable, connect the negative
