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.

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.

Tips for Use of the Temporary Mobility Kit
Read the following list of tips to make sure safe operation of the
temporary mobility kit:
•Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights.
•Always set the parking brake to make sure the vehicle does not move
unexpectedly.
•
Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
15 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the
non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
between -22°F (–30°C) and 158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle).Note:Check the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or collision. Always store the kit in its original location.
•
After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve
stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.
•When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only. Do not
use the transparent hose which is designed for sealant application only.
•Operating the temporary mobility kit could cause an electrical
disturbance in radio, CD, and DVD player operation (if equipped).
