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.
