Traces of grease, silicone and fuel prevent wiper blades from functioning properly. We recommend Ford cleaning solutions or equivalent to clean wiper blades. Change the wiper blades on your vehicle at least once a year. Cabin air filter replacement In your climate control system, you have a filter that cleans the air before it enters the interior of the vehicle. This filter should be replaced at the intervals in the "Maintenance Schedule" booklet. To replace the cabin air filter: 1. Remove both windshield wiper arms. With the wiper arm in the horizontal position, lift the arm away from the windshield while pulling the retaining clip at the base toward the windshield. Release the wiper arm, then lift it off the base. 150

Checking wiper blades
Check the wiper blades on your
vehicle for roughness by running
the tips of your fingers over the
edge of the blade.
Traces of grease, silicone and fuel
prevent wiper blades from
functioning properly. We
recommend Ford cleaning
solutions or equivalent to clean
wiper blades.
Change the wiper blades on your
vehicle at least once a year.
Cabin air filter replacement
In your climate control system, you
have a filter that cleans the air
before it enters the interior of the
vehicle. This filter should be
replaced at the intervals in the
”Maintenance Schedule” booklet.
To replace the cabin air filter:
1. Remove both windshield wiper
arms. With the wiper arm in the
horizontal position, lift the arm
away from the windshield while
pulling the retaining clip at the
base toward the windshield.
Release the wiper arm, then lift it
off the base.
