Driver Controls Changing the wiper blades 1. Pull the wiper arm away from the vehicle. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper arm. Push the lock pin manually to release the blade and pull the wiper blade down toward the windshield to remove it from the arm. 2. Attach the new wiper to the wiper arm and press it into place until a click is heard. Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance. Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the windshield, refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning chapter. To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the wiper rubber element. TILT STEERING WHEEL (IF EQUIPPED) To adjust the steering wheel: 1. Push the lever down to unlock the steering column. While the lever is in the down position, tilt the steering column to its desired orientation. 2. While holding the steering column, pull the lever up to its original position to lock the steering column. Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving. 43 2005 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
