Battery Management System (IfEquipped)
The battery management system (BMS)monitors battery conditions and takesactions to extend battery life. If excessivebattery drain is detected, the system maytemporarily disable certain electricalfeatures to protect the battery. Thoseelectrical accessories affected include therear defrost, heated/cooled seats, climate
control fan, heated steering wheel, audioand navigation system. A message may beshown in the information displays to alertthe driver that battery protection actionsare active. These messages are only fornotification that an action is taking place,and not intended to indicate an electricalproblem or that the battery requiresreplacement.
Electrical accessory installation
To ensure proper operation of the BMS,any electrical devices that are added tothe vehicle should not have their groundconnection made directly at the negativebattery post. A connection at the negativebattery post can cause inaccuratemeasurements of the battery conditionand potential incorrect system operation.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessoriesadded to the vehicle by the dealer or theowner may adversely affect batteryperformance and durability, and may alsoaffect the performance of other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required,the battery should only be replaced witha Ford recommended replacement batterywhich matches the electrical requirementsof the vehicle. After battery replacement,or in some cases after charging the batterywith the external charger, the BMS requireseight hours of vehicle sleep time (key offwith doors closed) to relearn the newbattery state of charge. Prior to relearningthe state of charge, the BMS may disableelectrical features (to protect the battery)earlier than normal.

Maintenance

•An authorized dealer needs to installmobile communications systems.Improper installation may harm theoperation of your vehicle, particularlyif the manufacturer did not design themobile communication systemspecifically for automotive use.
•If you or an authorized Ford dealer addany non-Ford electrical or electronicaccessories or components to yourvehicle, you may adversely affectbattery performance and durability. Inaddition, you may also adversely affectthe performance of other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
The auxiliary switch option packageprovides four switches, mounted in thecenter of the instrument panel. Theseswitches operate only while the ignition isin the on position, whether the engine isrunning or not. Ford recommends, however,that the engine remain running to maintainbattery charge when using the auxiliaryswitches for extended periods of time orhigher current draws.
Note:When your vehicle has a dieselengine, use the auxiliary switches only whilethe engine is running. The glow plugs alsodrain battery power when the ignition key isin the on position. Using the auxiliaryswitches, even for limited amounts of time,can cause your battery to drain quickly andprevent your vehicle from restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switchesprovide 8 amps, 12 amps or 20 amps ofelectrical battery power for a variety ofpersonal or commercial uses.
The relay box for the auxiliary switches ison the end of the left side of the instrumentpanel. See your authorized dealer forservice.
