Maintenance and Care Wiper Blade Replacement 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. To replace the wiper blades: 1. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield and into the lock position. 2. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper arm. Squeeze the lock tabs of the plastic clip together to release the blade and pull the wiper blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm. 3. Attach a new wiper blade to the wiper arm and press it into place until you hear it click. Tires Look at your tires each time you fill your fuel tank. If one tire looks lower than the others, check the pressure in all of them. s Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures. See Checking the pressure of the tires later in this chapter. s Stay within the recommended load limits. See Driving with a heavy load in the Index. s Make sure the weight of your load is evenly distributed. s Adjust tire pressure to recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. If you do not take these precautions, your tires may fail or go flat. 303
