WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Windshield washer fluid
Coupe
Sedan
Check the washer fluid whenever you stop for fuel. The reservoir is
highlighted with a
symbol.
If the level is low, add enough fluid to fill the reservoir. In very cold
weather, do not fill the reservoir all the way.
Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford specifications. Refer to
Lubricant specifications in this chapter.
State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging the
vehicles paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.
