Removal and installation
Always take the following
precautions when removing
and refitting a battery:
Your vehicle is equipped with a
silver/calcium battery (marked
Ca). This battery has to be
replaced by a silver/calcium
battery only. No other type of
battery is to be used. The current
and capacity of the new battery
must correspond with that of the
old battery or with the
recommendations of Ford.
Contact an expert for the correct
battery specifications. Ford
authorized repairers are
recommended.
Note: On vehicles with a 2.0 l
Turbo diesel engine, the air filter
cover has to be removed before
the battery can be removed or
installed. It is therefore
recommended that you have the
battery removed and installed by an
expert. Ford authorized repairers
are recommended.
Batteries are heavy. Ensure that
you have a good grip and that the
weight of the battery is within your
individual lifting capability.
With the ignition and all electrical
equipment switched off, always
remove the negative (–) cable first.
