Push the lever away from you to switch
the high beam on.
Push the lever forward again or pull the
lever toward you to switch the high beams

Headlamp Flasher

AUTOLAMPS
WARNING
The autolamps switch position may
not activate the headlamps in all low
visibility conditions, such as daytime
fog. Always ensure that your headlamps
are switched to auto or on, as appropriate,
during all low visibility conditions. Failure
to do so may result in a crash. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps
automatically turn on in low light situations
or when the wipers activate.
If equipped, the following also activate
when the lighting control is in the
autolamps position and you switch them
on in the information display:
•
Configurable daytime running lamps.
• Automatic high beam control.
• Adaptive headlamp control.
The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you power off your vehicle. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on. See Information Displays
(page 80).
Note: With the headlamps in the
autolamps position, you cannot switch the
high beam headlamps on until the
autolamps system turns the low beam
headlamps on.
Windshield Wiper Activated
Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps
turn on within 10 seconds when you switch
the windshield wipers on and the lighting
control is in the autolamps position. They
turn off approximately 60 seconds after
you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.

Your vehicle is fitted with a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery which normally
does not require additional water.
Note:
After cleaning or replacing the
battery, make sure you reinstall the battery
cover or shield.
When a battery replacement is required,
you must use a recommended
replacement battery that matches the
electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer for low
voltage battery access, testing or
replacement.
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection
directly to the low voltage battery negative
post. This can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition
and potential incorrect system operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect the low voltage battery performance
and durability. This 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.
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.
A computer electronically controls your
vehicle. The power of the low voltage
battery maintains the memory of some
settings, for example, clock setting or radio
presets. When the low voltage battery is
disconnected and then connected, these
settings erase.
To restore the settings, do the following:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N). 3. Switch off all accessories.
4. Press the brake pedal and start your
vehicle.
5. Reset the clock.
6. Reset the bounce-back feature. See Power Windows (page 71).
7. Reset the radio station presets. See Audio System
(page 223).
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery, we
recommend that you disconnect the
battery cables to maintain battery charge
for quick starting.
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.

Miscellaneous
•
Make sure you cover all linkages,
cables, levers and pins under your
vehicle with grease to prevent rust.
• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.
Removing Vehicle From Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
• Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt
or grease film build-up on window
surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.
• Check under the hood for any foreign
material that may have collected
during storage such as mice or squirrel
nests.
• Check tire pressures and set tire
inflation per the Tire Label.
• Check brake pedal operation. Drive
your vehicle
15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth to remove rust build-up.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant)
to make sure there are no leaks, and
fluids are at recommended levels.
• If you remove the 12-volt battery, clean
the cable ends and inspect.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.
