BATTERY

Your vehicle is equipped with a

Motorcraft maintenance-free battery

which normally does not require

additional water during its life of

service.

However, for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the

battery electrolyte level. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for

the service interval schedules.

Keep the electrolyte level in each cell up to the “level indicator”.

Do not overfill the battery cells.

If the electrolyte level in the battery is low, you can add plain tap water

to the battery, as long as you do not use hard water (water with a high

mineral or alkali content). If possible, however, try to only fill the battery

cells with distilled water. If the battery needs water often, have the

charging system checked.

If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled

after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and

dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to

the battery terminals.

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.
