Maintenance and care
Battery
Your vehicle may be equipped with
a Motorcraft maintenance-free
battery. The Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery normally
M o t o r
does not require additional water
c r a f t
during its life of service. However,

for severe service usage or in high
temperature climates, check your
battery electrolyte level, at least
P b
every 24 months or 40 000 km
(24 000 miles). Keep the
electrolyte in each cell up to the
"level" indicator. Do not overfill the
battery cell.
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 cables or terminals, remove
the cables from the terminal(s) and
clean with a wire brush. You can
neutralize the acid with a solution
of baking soda and water. Reinstall
the cables when you are done
cleaning them, and apply a small
quantity of grease to the top of
each battery terminal to help
prevent corrosion.
