WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. 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.

Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.
Press and hold the button to spray
windshield washer fluid and switch on the
wipers. When you release the button, the
wipers turn on for three additional wipes
and then turn off.
Note: Briefly pressing the washer button
causes a single wipe without washer fluid.
When you use the washers, there is a
courtesy wipe after a short delay to clear
away any drops on the windshield. You can
switch this feature on or off. See
Information Displays (page 74).

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
Replacement blades are available at your
Ford dealer.
Note:
To avoid damaging the windshield,
lift the wiper blade a few inches off the
glass and place a cloth on the windshield
under the blade.
Note: Manually move the wiper blades to
the midway position.
Note: The windshield wiper blades are
different in length. The longer blade is on
the driver's side.
1. Disconnect the washer pipe from the wiper arm.
2. Press the release button on the top of the wiper arm where the blade
assembly attaches to the arm.
3. Pull the blade assembly away from the
arm, while rocking it from side to side
to help release it.
4. Keep the cloth in place to avoid the arm from hitting the windshield glass. 5. Install the new blade assembly and
reconnect the washer pipe.
6. When complete, switch on the wipers and they will cycle back to the park
position when you switch them off.
Replace wiper blades at least once per
year for optimum performance.

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Dirty windshield and wipers will result in
poor windshield wiper operation. Keep the
windshield and wiper blades clean to
maintain windshield wiper performance.
To clean exterior glass surfaces and wiper
blades:
•
Clean the exterior surface of the
windshield with a non-abrasive glass
cleaner.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the outside surface of the windshield
with Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
The interior glass surface of the windshield
and engine cover glass, and both the inner
and outer surface of the bulkhead glass,
have a laminate coating that requires
special care.
To clean interior glass surfaces:
• When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, avoid getting any glass
cleaner on the instrument panel or door
panels. Wipe any excess cleaner off
these surfaces immediately.
• Use a microfiber towel and plain water,
or a mixture of one-half water and
one-half white vinegar, to clean the
interior glass surfaces.
Note: Never use alcohol or ammonia based
cleaners, aerosol sprays or abrasive
compounds to clean the interior glass
surfaces of your vehicle. Using improper
cleaning products can cause damage to
your vehicle. CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNING: Do not use cleaning
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.
Clean safety belts with water applied with
a soft sponge. Let them dry naturally, away
from artificial heat.
Wipe carbon fiber surfaces with a clean,
damp and soft cloth to remove dust. Then
use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry these
areas.
Cleaning Alcantara Microfiber
Cloth
Note: Some models have Alcantara
microfiber cloth fabric on the seats,
headliner, instrument panel and door panels.
Use a soft brush, a clean, dry cloth or
vacuum cleaner to remove dust and loose
dirt from Alcantara cloth surfaces. Gently
wipe the cloth surfaces with a clean, damp
cotton cloth.
Note: Alcantara microfiber cloth fabric are
made of polyester microfiber with
micro-porous polyurethane. Using
commercially available fabric cleaners can
cause permanent damage.
Note: Do not use commercially available
leather and vinyl cleaning products on
Alcantara cloth fabric.
Depending on the type of stain, use water,
lemon juice or pure ethyl alcohol when
cleaning. For cleaning Alcantara microfiber
cloth, refer to the following chart:

Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201908, First-Printing Vehicle Care

Cooling system
•
Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
• Connect your vehicle to the battery
charger/maintainer provided with your
vehicle whenever you store your vehicle
for more than 2 weeks.
• Connect the wires as shown in the
illustration. See Changing the 12V
Battery (page 167).
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• To minimize flat spots on the tires,
inflate all four tires to the
recommended cold pressures listed on
the Safety Compliance Certification
label or Tire Label. When the vehicle is
taken out of storage, reset the tire
pressures as necessary to the
recommended levels listed on the
Safety Compliance Certification label
or Tire Label affixed to your vehicle.
Note: If you store your vehicle in a location
with low ambient temperatures, follow the
instructions for care of summer tires. See
Using Summer Tires
(page 201).
Miscellaneous
• Move vehicles at least
25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent flat spots in the tires. 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 and engine cover
for any foreign material that may have
collected during storage such as 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
your vehicle
15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth with the brake lightly applied.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant,
oil and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
See an authorized dealer if you have any
concerns or issues.
BODY STYLING KITS
The distance between the underside of
your vehicle and the ground is less than
that of other models. Drive with extreme
care to avoid damage to your vehicle.
