WARNINGS
For vehicles with Auto-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 Under Hood
Overview (page 135).
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free
battery. It does not require additional
water during service.
If your vehicle battery has a cover, make
sure you correctly install it after cleaning
or replacing the battery.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep
the top of the battery clean and dry and
the battery cables tightly fastened to the
battery terminals. If any corrosion is
present on the battery or terminals,
remove the cables from the terminals
and clean with a wire brush. You can
neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
We recommend that you disconnect the
negative battery cable terminal from the
battery if you plan to store your vehicle
for an extended period.
To maintain correct operation of the
battery management system, if you add
any electrical devices to your vehicle, do
not connect the ground connection
directly to the negative battery terminal.
A connection at the negative battery
terminal can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition
and potential incorrect system operation.
Note:
Electrical accessories or
components added to your vehicle by you
or an authorized dealer, may
adversely affect battery performance,
durability and the performance of other
electrical systems on your vehicle.
Maintenance
If a replacement battery is required, we
recommend you use a Ford replacement
battery that matches the electrical
requirements of your vehicle.
If you disconnect or replace the battery
and your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, transmission must relearn
its adaptive strategy. Because of this, the
transmission may shift firmly when first
driven. This is normal operation while the
transmission fully updates its operation to
optimum shift feel.
Remove and Reinstall the Battery
To disconnect or remove the battery, do
the following:
1. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
2. Switch all electrical equipment off, for
example lights and radio.
3. Wait a minimum of two minutes before
disconnecting the battery.
Note:
The engine management system
has
a power hold function and remains
powered
for a period after you switch the
ignition off.
This is to allow diagnostic and
adaptive
tables to be stored.
Disconnecting the
battery without
waiting can cause damage
not covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
4. Disconnect the negative (-) battery
cable terminal first.
5. Disconnect the positive (+) battery
cable terminal last.
6. Remove the battery securing clamp.
7. Remove the battery.
8. Install in the reverse order.
Note:
Before reconnecting the battery,
make sure the ignition remains switched
off.
