1996 Ford Aspire Owner's Manual - Page 89

Windshield washer control If the washer does not work, check the washer fluid level and fill it if it is low. See Servicing Your Aspire later in the owner guide. If there is fluid in the reservoir, consult your nearest authorized Ford dealer. 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. 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. For information about refilling the washer fluid or replacing your windshield wiper blades, see Windshield washer fluid and Wipers in the Index. 87
