WARNINGS
Keep batteries out of reach of
children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible
splashing of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of
15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, call a
physician immediately. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
261
MKZ (CC9) Maintenance

2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the
vehicle.
5. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. While the
engine is warming up, complete the
following: Reset the clock. See Audio
System (page 309). Reset the power
windows bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors (page 83). Reset
the radio station presets.
See Audio
System (page 309).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute. If the engine turns off, step on
the accelerator to start the engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the
transmission to N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one
minute by pressing on the accelerator
pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the
idle and fuel trim strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be
adversely affected until the engine
computer eventually relearns the idle trim
and fuel trim strategy.
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. Note:
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.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge
of the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiper arms can be manually moved
when the ignition is off. This allows for
ease of blade replacement and cleaning
under the blades.
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away
from the glass. 262

4.
On the wall or screen you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the right hand
portion of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the high intensity light zone is
not at the horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the
horizontal reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the lamps. Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate
normal changes in pressure. Condensation
can be a natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp assembly
through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the
temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
thin mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the
lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service
if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.

•
Do not store the kit unsecured inside
the passenger compartment of the
vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or crash. 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 (about 4 miles
[6 kilometers]) 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.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to the tire
valve, turning clockwise. Make sure
the connection is tightly fastened.

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of
the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 7.
Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwise
to the sealant position. Turn on the kit
by pressing the on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on
the tire label located on the driver's
door or the door jamb area. When the
sealing compound is first added into
the tire, the air pressure gauge reading
on the compressor unit may indicate
a higher value; this is normal and
should be no reason for concern. The
pressure will drop after about 30
seconds of operation. The tire pressure
has to be checked with the
compressor in the OFF position to get
the correct tire pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure
is reached, turn off the kit by pressing
the on button; disconnect the kit from
the tire valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).
11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

Note:
If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, reduce your speed until you can
safely pull off to the side of the road to call
for roadside assistance. Note: Do not
proceed to the second stage of this
operation.
Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Re–inflating the tire with
sealing compound and air section and
have injected sealant in the tire and the
pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop and
call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is
above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next
step. The power plug may get hot after
use and should be handled carefully
while unplugging. Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten firmly on
the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the
air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button. 4. Adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure from the tire label
located on the driver's door or door
jamb area. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the
OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.
5. Turn the compressor off by pressing the on/off button.
6. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the kit to the
stowage area.
What to do after the Tire has been
Sealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister and
clear tube (hose). Sealing compound and
spare parts can be obtained and replaced
at an authorized Ford Motor Company
dealership or tire dealer. Empty sealant
bottles may be disposed of at home;
however, liquid residue from the sealing
compound should be disposed by your
local Ford Motor Company dealership or
tire dealer, or in accordance with local
waste disposal regulations.
