WASHER FLUID CHECK
WARNING
If you operate your vehicle in
temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use
washer fluid with antifreeze protection.
Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection in cold weather could result in
impaired windshield vision and increase the
risk of injury or accident. Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low.
Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 290).
State or local regulations on volatile organic
compounds may restrict the use of methanol,
a common windshield washer antifreeze
additive. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be
used only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging the vehicle ’s
paint finish, wiper blades or washer system. FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases that can cause personal injury.
Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks
or lighted substances to come near the
battery. When working near the battery,
always shield your face and protect your
eyes. Always provide proper ventilation. This vehicle may be equipped with
more than one battery, removal of
cable from only one battery does not
disconnect your vehicle electrical system. Be
sure to disconnect cables from all batteries
when disconnecting power. Failure to do so
may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. WARNINGS
When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury and
damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the
battery with a battery carrier or with your
hands on opposite corners. 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. Note:
If your battery has a cover/shield, make
sure it is reinstalled after the battery has been
cleaned or replaced.
Note: Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
Note: Electrical or electronic accessories or
components added to your vehicle by the
dealer or the owner may adversely affect
battery performance and durability.

MKS (), enUSA Maintenance

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.
Battery Management System (If
Equipped)
The battery management system (BMS)
monitors battery conditions and takes
actions to extend battery life. If excessive
battery drain is detected, the system may
temporarily disable certain electrical features
to protect the battery. Those electrical
accessories affected include the rear defrost,
heated/cooled seats, climate control fan,
heated steering wheel, audio and navigation
system. A message may be shown in the
information displays to alert the driver that
battery protection actions are active. These
messages are only for notification that an
action is taking place, and not intended to
indicate an electrical problem or that the
battery requires replacement.
Electrical accessory installation
To ensure proper operation of the Battery
Management System, any electrical devices
that are added to your 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
added to your vehicle by the dealer or the
owner, may adversely affect battery
performance and durability, and may affect
the performance of other electrical systems
in your 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
your vehicle. After battery replacement, or in
some cases after charging the battery with
the external charger, the Battery
Management System requires eight hours of
vehicle sleep time (key off with doors closed)
to relearn the new battery state of charge.
Prior to relearning the state of charge, the
Battery Management System may disable
electrical features (to protect the battery)
earlier than normal. 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.
