2013 FORD C MAX HYBRID 12 volt battery

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Pre-Fuse Box
Your vehicle has a pre-fuse box attached to the power distribution box.
There is a second pre-fuse box attached to the 12-volt battery terminal
in the rear of your vehicle. They contain high-current fuses. If you need
to replace one of these fuses, see an authorized dealer.
Power Distribution Box
WARNING:Always disconnect the battery before servicing high
current fuses.
WARNING:To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace the
cover to the power distribution box before reconnecting the
battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. It has
high-current fuses that protect your vehicle’s main electrical systems
from overloads.
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, seeChanging the
Vehicle Batteryin theMaintenancechapter.
Lift the release lever at the rear of the cover to remove it.

CHANGING THE LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft® maintenance-free low
voltage battery which normally does not require additional water during
its life of service.
Note:See an authorized dealer for low voltage battery access, testing, or
replacement.
When a low voltage battery replacement is necessary, see an authorized
dealer to replace the low voltage battery with a Ford recommended
replacement low voltage battery that matches the electrical requirements
of the vehicle.
To ensure proper operation of the battery management system (BMS), do
not allow a technician to connect any electrical device ground connection
directly to the low voltage battery negative post. A connection at the low
voltage battery negative post can cause inaccurate measurements of the
battery condition and potential incorrect system operation.
Note:If a person adds electrical or electronic accessories or components
to the vehicle, the accessories or components may adversely affect the
low voltage battery performance and durability and may also affect the
performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.
Note:Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local
authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive
batteries.
Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically-controlled by a computer,
some engine control settings are maintained by power from the low
voltage battery. Some engine computer settings, like the idle trim and
fuel trim strategy, optimize the driveability and performance of the
engine. Some other computer settings, like the clock and radio station
presets, are also maintained in memory by power from the low voltage
battery. When a technician disconnects and connects the low voltage
battery, these settings are erased. Complete the following procedure in
order to restore the settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission to P (Park).
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.
5. Step on the accelerator to start the engine.

Brakes
•Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully released.
Tires
•Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
•Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and pins under vehicle are

Removing Vehicle from Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:
•Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on
window surfaces.
•Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
•Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage (mice or squirrel nests).
•Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage.
•Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Drive the vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m ) back
and forth to remove rust build-up.
•Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil and gas) to make sure there
are no leaks and fluids are at recommended levels.
Note:If you disconnected the negative battery cable and closed the
liftgate fully, you will need to connect a 12 volt power supply to the
jump start prongs under the hood so that you can open the liftgate.
SeeJump-Starting the Vehiclein theRoadside Emergencieschapter.

Skipcancels the cabin conditioning for the present My GO Time. Once
you touch Skip, the GO Time and Temperature are not selectable, and
the LED illuminates on the Skip button. Touch the button again to turn

The system also alerts you to any conflicts by highlighting areas of the
screen in yellow. If your battery cannot have a full charge by the
scheduled drive time, the system highlights the current My GO Time and
Actual Charge End Time and a messageCharge at GO Time: under
100%appears. This is normal; the vehicle is informing you of the
conflicting situation. This notification only displays when the gearshift
selector lever is in positionP.
Note:Charging occurs as soon as you plug the vehicle in. The system
limits cabin conditioning to 15 minutes before the My GO Time.
To eliminate the conflict notification immediately or to prevent a conflict
in the future, try the following:
•Change the present My GO Time to occur later.
•Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging station instead of 120V
convenience cord. Higher power charging yields shorter charge times.
•Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits
Batteryshows you the battery’s current charge displayed as a
percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery has a full charge.
A reading of 0% means the battery has no charge.
To fully charge
•240Vis the estimated minimum charging time from the current
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
shortest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery
to recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a 240V
charging station and a minimum 30A service and high-voltage battery
at a moderate temperature.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is normal for your actual
charge duration to be longer.
Note:Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V), which result in
longer charge times.
•120Vis the estimated maximum charging time from the current
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
longest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions include a 120V
convenience cord and 12A service.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is possible for your
actual charge duration to be longer. This occurs when the AC line
voltage is low and may indicate your electrical source is not meeting
certain requirements (seeCharging the high-voltage batteryin the
High Voltage Batterychapter).
