Ford Transit Connect 2013 - Washer Fluid Check; Changing the 12 V Battery; Checking the Wiper Blades; Changing the Wiper Blades

WARNINGS
If the level is at the MIN mark, have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Note: Keep brake fluid clean and dry.
Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in
brake system damage and possible failure.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
Add fluid that meets the Ford specification.
See Technical Specifications (page 176).
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
WARNING
For vehicles with Start-Stop the
battery requirement is different. You
must replace the battery with one of
exactly the same specification.
The battery is located in the engine
compartment. See Maintenance (page
158).
Note: You must reset the bounce-back
feature for the power windows. See Power
Windows (page 53).
Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
You can manually move the wiper arms
when you switch the ignition off. Pull the
wiper blade and wiper arm away from the
glass. This allows for ease of wiper blade
replacement and cleaning under the wiper
blades.
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.
Changing the Front Wiper Blades
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away
