After battery replacement, or in some
cases after charging the battery with an
external charger, the battery management
system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep
time to relearn the battery state of charge.
During this time your vehicle must remain
fully locked with the ignition switched off.
Note:
Prior to relearning the battery state
of charge, the battery management system
may temporarily disable some electrical
systems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection
directly to the 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 battery performance and durability.
This may also affect the performance of
other electrical systems in the vehicle.
Remove and Reinstall the Battery
To disconnect or remove the battery, do
the following:
1. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
2. Switch all electrical equipment off, for
example lights and radio.
3. Wait a minimum of two minutes before
disconnecting the battery.
Note: The engine management system has
a power hold function and remains powered
for a period of time after you switch the
ignition off. This is to allow diagnostic and
adaptive tables to be stored. Disconnecting
the battery without waiting can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. 4. Disconnect the negative battery cable
terminal.
5. Disconnect the positive battery cable terminal.
6. Remove the battery securing clamp.
7. Remove the battery.
8. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Note: Before reconnecting the battery,
make sure the ignition remains switched off.
Note: Make sure the battery cable terminals
are fully tightened.
If you disconnect or replace the vehicle
battery, you must reset the following
features:
• Window bounce-back. See Power
Windows (page 74).
• Clock Settings.
• Pre-set radio stations.
Battery Disposal Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries.

Check Every Month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level.
Holes and slots in the tail pipe to make sure they are functional and clear of debris. Check Every Six Months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.

Multi-Point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.

Driver Training/EVOC
Replace engine oil and filter as indicated by the information
display and perform services listed in the Extreme Usage
Scheduled Maintenance chart.
As required
Inspect brake pads, rotors, calipers hoses, and service as
required.
Inspect engine oil level.
Inspect vehicle every day
prior to starting training
Set tire pressure. Refer to driver door placard for cold tire
pressure information.
Inspect tire quality for wear.
Set wheel lug nut torque. The cold wheel lug nut torque
is 150 lb.ft (204 Nm). If wheels are torqued while they are
hot (after 15 minutes of EVOC driving), torque may be
checked to hot wheel lug nut torque of
70 lb.ft (95 Nm).
Proper functioning of safety devices (seat belts, no air bag
lights, etc.)
Front differential/axle fluid.
25 hours of training use
Rear differential/axle fluid.
100 hours of training use
Change transmission and transfer case fluids.
Annually
Note: Follow base owner guide direction
for 1,000-mile vehicle break-in prior to using
vehicle for training purposes.
Note: Incorporate vehicle cool-down after
hard driving.
Note: Perform Training / EVOC service
according to the Extreme Usage Scheduled
Maintenance chart.
Note: Use Police Interceptor part numbers
for replacement parts. Engine Idle Hour Meter
Your vehicle may have an idle meter to
indicate how much time the vehicle has
been sitting in park (P) or neutral (N). The
meter is incorporated with the vehicle
odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset
button once displays the trip odometer
(miles [kilometers] following by a "T" for
trip odometer); depressing the
odometer-reset button a second time
displays the idle meter (hours following by
an "H" for hours). The idle meter only
accumulates time while the vehicle is in
park (P) or neutral (N). Displayed time is
cumulative for the vehicle and cannot be
reset to zero. Police vehicles often
