Using Windshield Wipers on a Ford Expedition
To use the windshield wipers on a Ford Expedition, you can adjust the wiper speed and duration using the wiper stalk controls. Here’s how to do it:
1. Adjusting Wiper Speed and Duration:
– You can adjust the wiper speed and duration of the windshield wipers using the wiper stalk controls. There are specific instructions for adjusting the wiper speed and duration based on whether you have front and rear wiper controls on the stalk or only front wiper controls on the stalk.
2. Precautions and Maintenance:
– It’s important to note that you should not operate the wipers on a dry windshield, as this may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades, or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield. Additionally, it’s recommended to clean the windshield wipers regularly to ensure they function effectively.
3. Replacing Wiper Blades:
