To preserve your warranty,the following conditions should be observed
(See Owner’s Manual for further detail):
• Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the proper ways your vehicle’s battery
must be maintained in the event the vehicle is not driven or is stored
for an extended period.
• Follow all instructions for use and charging of the high voltage battery
assembly
• Use the vehicle, charging equipment, and high voltage battery
assembly as intended and as described in the Owner Manual, and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Have all high voltage battery assembly service and repairs performed
by properly qualified and equipped personnel at an EV Certified Ford
dealership.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
The high voltage battery assembly in the vehicle is designed to operate
within a sealed system. Removing the high voltage battery assembly from
the vehicle, or opening the high voltage battery assembly, creates a risk
of damage to the high voltage battery assembly, as well as a risk of
personal injury, including electrocution. EV Certified Ford dealerships
are specially trained and equipped to repair the high voltage battery
assembly and high voltage systems on the vehicle, and are the only
repair facilities authorized to repair the high voltage battery assembly.
In order to maintain optimal battery life and functionality of your vehicle,
it is imperative that all high voltage battery software updates are
installed. You are responsible for ensuring all software updates are
installed within 30 days of software availability. You can most easily
accomplish this by keeping Automatic Updates set to ON. If you are
unable or choose not to use your vehicle’s connectivity features to
update software, your Ford Dealer can determine if software updates are
available for your vehicle and perform these updates. Battery system
updates will be installed at no cost to you during the warranty period.
Damage resulting from failure to install battery system updates will not
be covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
