Your vehicle is equipped with a
Motorcraft® maintenance-free
battery which normally does not
require additional water during its life
of service.
Note:
If your battery has a
cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery has been cleaned or
replaced.
For longer, trouble-free operation,
keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make certain the battery
cables are always tightly fastened to
the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion 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.
It is recommended that the negative
battery cable terminal be
disconnected from the battery if you
plan to store your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
To ensure proper operation of the
battery management system (BMS),
any electrical devices that are added
to the vehicle should not have their
ground connection made directly at
the negative battery post. A
connection at the negative battery
post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery
condition and potential incorrect
system operation. Note:
Electrical or electronic
accessories or components added to
the vehicle by the dealer or the owner
may adversely affect battery
performance and durability and may
also affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is
required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended
replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the
vehicle.
When the battery is disconnected or
a new battery installed, the automatic
transmission must relearn its adaptive
strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly when
first driven. This operation is
considered normal and will fully
update transmission operation to its
optimum shift feel.
If the battery has been disconnected
or a new battery has been installed,
the clock and the preset radio stations
must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
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.

Maintenance
Page 297 of 474

•
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). Check
the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four
years.
• Do not store the 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 kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD,
and DVD player operation.
What to do when a Tire Is
Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread
area can be repaired in two stages
with the kit. •
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing
compound and air. After the tire
has been reinflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle a short
distance (approximately 4 miles
[6 km]) to distribute the sealant
in the tire.
• In the second stage, you will need
to check the tire pressure and
adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle's
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall
during inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance. If the tire doesn't inflate to the
recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call
roadside assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe,
level and secure area, away from
moving traffic. Turn the hazard lights
on. Apply the parking brake and turn
the engine off. Inspect the flat tire for
visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the
accessory box on the underside of the
kit housing.

•
When adding accessories,
equipment, passengers and
luggage to your vehicle, do not
exceed the total weight capacity
of the vehicle or of the front or rear
axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated
on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult your
authorized dealer for specific
weight information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the
use of mobile communications
systems — such as two-way
radios, telephones and theft
alarms - that are equipped with
radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle
should comply with FCC or CRTC
regulations and should be installed
only by a qualified service
technician.
• Mobile communications systems
may harm the operation of your
vehicle, particularly if they are not
properly designed for automotive
use. •
To avoid interference with other
vehicle functions, such as anti-lock
braking systems, amateur radio
users who install radios and
antennas onto their vehicle should
not locate the amateur radio
antennas in the area of the driver's
side hood.
• Any non-Lincoln custom electrical
or electronic accessories or
components that are added to the
vehicle by the authorized dealer or
the owner, may adversely affect
battery performance and
durability, and may also adversely
affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle.
