No more wiper blades covered in chunks of ice. No more wiper blades freezing to the glass. And the funny-looking park- ing lot ritual of pulling wipers off the windshield and pointing them to the sky will be a thing of the past. Escape is the first Ford Motor Company SUV in the United States to offer a windshield wiper de-icer, part of a Cold Weather Package that is standard on Titanium models and an option on SE models. The 2017 Escape is due in show- rooms this spring. “The windshield wiper de-icer is a great solution to one of the more nagging problems of winter,” said Jennifer Gauthier, Ford fixed glass engineer. “Escape drivers in the U.S. are going to wonder how they ever got along without it.” The system is designed to clear light snow and ice from the wiper blades in under 10 minutes at minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. * SPRING CLEAN YOUR CAR: TIPS TO GET YOUR CAR IN GREAT CONDITION 5570 Monroe St. | Sylvania, OH www.sylvaniaaudi.com *$3,984 due at signing, plus taxes, title, options & dealer charges. $0 security deposit.

Remember that your car is likely in desperate need of some attention after the winter months. “A car that’s well- maintained is safer, cheaper to run, more reliable and can be worth more money at resale time,” says Brian Moody, executive edi- tor of Autotrader. To help, Autotrader editors are sharing “Simple Spring Car Care” tips to get your car in tip-top shape for the busy driving sea- son ahead: • Wash and wax your car thoroughly. If you can afford it, have it profession- ally detailed. However, if you do it your- self, be sure to use a pressure nozzle in order to rid your car of any leftover road salt or sand from the winter. Direct sunlight can cause a car’s finish to become dull, but a thorough wash- ing and waxing can also help keep your car’s paint and clear coat looking good. It’s tempting to run the car through an automated car wash, but those big revolving brushes can dull the finish over time. If you’re not allowed to wash your car at home due to regional laws or neighborhood rules, seek out a good drive-thru wash and hand wax instead. • Check and set your car’s tire pres- sure to the level specified in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s door sill. As temperatures warm up, the air in your tires can expand and that might impact the way the car handles. Be sure not to over-inflate the tires. While low tire pressure can cause the tire to heat up if it’s not rolling down the road properly, extreme over infla- tion can cause a blowout in high temperatures. If you’re not comfort- able doing this yourself, take your car to a shop like Sears Auto Center or Firestone Auto Care Center — those kinds of chains will usually do it for free. • Have a qualified mechanic do a visual inspection under the hood. If you’re comfortable doing this yourself, check for worn belts or hoses and make sure your coolant (sometimes called anti-freeze) isn’t too old. Coolant lasts a long time, but keeping track of when it was last changed, especially in older cars, can help you avoid overheating as the temperatures gradually climb. For more tips for keeping your vehicle in great shape whether it’s hot, cold, or rainy can be found at www. Autotrader.com. For better driving all season long, make sure your spring to-do list includes cleaning and maintaining your car. * Courtesy of StatePoint Ford Escape Titanium model Rated #1 In Best Purchase Experience in the Midwest 2013 and 2014
