replaced by a Ford Dealership.

DIESEL FILTER

CONDENSATION DISCHARGE
(Duratorq versions)
The presence of water
in the supply circuit may
cause severe damage to
the injection system
and irregular engine operation.
If the warning light E goes on,
contact a Ford Dealership as soon
as possible to have the system bled.
If the above indications come on
immediately after refuelling, water
has probably been poured into the
tank: turn the engine off immediately
and contact a Ford Dealership.

BATTERY

The car is fitted with a low-maintenance
battery: no top-ups with distilled water
are needed in standard conditions
of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out
as described in this Owner Handbook
only by skilled personnel. Any top-up
operations must be carried out by
specialised personnel and by a Ford
Dealership.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible
sources of sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can damage
it irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
an original spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the "Scheduled Servicing Plan" will no
longer be valid.
For battery maintenance, you should
therefore refer to the instructions
provided by the battery manufacturer.
