the wiper arm where the blade
assembly attaches to the arm.

3. Pull the blade assembly away from the

arm, while rocking it from side to side
to help release it.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Note: Never drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash due to
the vehicle's low ground clearance. Always
wash your vehicle by hand. Never use a
power washer or high pressure wand to
clean your vehicle.

Note: Suntan lotions and insect repellents
can damage painted surfaces. If these
substances come in contact with your
vehicle, wash the affected area as soon as
possible.

Note: Use a separate wash mitt and soap
bucket to clean the wheels to prevent brake
dust from scratching the paint finish.

Note: Do not spray cleaning products on
the brake discs. Any resulting damage is not
covered by your vehicle warranty.

Note: Always follow the instructions
included in this manual when cleaning your
vehicle and do not use abrasive cleaning
products.

Standard Paint Finish

If your vehicle has a matte paint finish, see
Matte Paint Finish in this chapter.

Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, we recommend Motorcraft®™
Detail Wash.

•

Never use strong household detergents
or soap, for example dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.

•

Never wash your vehicle when it is hot
to the touch, or during strong or direct
sunlight.

•

Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel to eliminate water
spotting.

•

Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
These may cause damage to your
vehicle’s paintwork or trim over time.
We recommend Motorcraft® Bug and
Tar Remover.

Matte Paint Finish

(If Equipped)

Prepare the following before washing your
vehicle:

•

Use a no shine, matte car wash soap
that does not contain fillers or silicone.

•

Use high quality, soft lamb's wool mitts
and wash each mitt thoroughly after
each car wash.

•

Wash your vehicle's painted surfaces
in the shade with two buckets of water,
one for soap and the other for clean
water.

•

Add a plastic grit guard to the bottom
of the soap bucket so that dirt settles
at the bottom of the bucket and does
not contaminate the wash mitt.

To wash your vehicle:

1.

Rinse your vehicle to remove as much
dirt and debris as possible.

2. Wet the wash mitt in the soap bucket

and apply the soapy water to your
vehicle in a gentle back-and-forth
motion.

Note: Do not rub the wash mitt in circles or
rub the paint surface aggressively. Rubbing
too hard in circles leaves permanent swirl
marks in the paint finish.

3. Rinse the wash mitt in clean water

before inserting the mitt back into the
soap bucket to prevent dirt from
contaminating the soapy water.

4. Rinse the vehicle with clean water and

dry it with a clean, damp cloth.

Note: Do not use automotive waxes, detail
sprays or abrasive polishes or glazes on your
vehicle. Improper use of cleaning products
can cause damage to your vehicle not
covered by your vehicle warranty.

Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
Use a wet microfiber towel and an
alcohol-based window cleaner, a matte
paint finish cleaner or a 50/50 mix of
alcohol and deionized water.

Note: Always soak a microfiber towel or
wash mitt with water before cleaning. Using
a dry towel or mitt on a matte paint finish
creates a permanent glossy spot in the paint
finish.
