GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Have the battery pack serviced only
by an authorized electric vehicle
technician. Improper handling can result
in personal injury or death. Note:
The high-voltage battery does not
require regular service maintenance.
Your vehicle consists of various
high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through
specific wiring assemblies labeled as such
or covered with a solid orange convolute,
or orange striped tape, or both. Do not
come in contact with these components.
The high-voltage battery system is a
high-voltage, lithium-ion battery system.
The pack is located in the rear cargo area.
The high-voltage battery system uses an
air-cooled system to regulate the
high-voltage battery temperature and help
maximize high-voltage battery life. Note:
The high-voltage battery is
equipped with air vents in the package
tray that help to regulate its temperature.
It is important to keep these openings free
of obstructions. Do not block the flow of
cabin air to this area.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE
DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect turns
off power from the high-voltage battery.
Note: There is a disconnect circuit in your
vehicle. Disconnecting the circuit will
automatically disable the high-voltage
battery.
To disable the battery and stop all
high-voltage electric activity in the vehicle
you can access the high-voltage
disconnect circuit. To do this, you must
unplug the circuit from the circuit port
connected to the battery.
The service disconnect is equipped with
an outer lever. This is to aid in properly
seating the service disconnect lever.
Remove this to disconnect the
high-voltage service disconnect.
The high-voltage service disconnect is
located behind the rear fold down seats.

When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine
Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while
it is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance. To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner.
• For windshields contaminated with tree
sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the
entire windshield using steel wool (no
greater than 0000 grade) in a circular
motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
fluid.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear
window. The vehicle warranty does not
cover damage caused to the heated rear
window grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach
or dye on the vehicle
’s safety belts,
as these actions may weaken the belt
webbing. On vehicles equipped with
seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents.
Such products could contaminate the side
airbag system and affect performance of
the side airbag in a collision. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts
and seats equipped with side airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.

If you cannot completely clean the leather
using a mild soap and water solution, you
can try a commercially available leather
cleaning product designed for automotive
interiors.
Note: To check for compatibility, first test
any cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.
You should:
• remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner
• clean spills and stains as quickly as
