Do not let acid or lead particles get in contact with your skin or clothing. • Battery acid is caustic. Wear gloves and eye protection. Do not tilt the battery, acid might come out of the ventilation openings.
Page 186 Roadside emergencies • Keep children away from the battery acid. • When charging a battery explosive gas will be released. • Naked flames, sparks and smoking are prohibited. Avoid sparks when working with wires and electric equipment. Do not connect the battery poles. The resulting short circuit will produce sparks and could cause injury.
Page 187 The current and capacity of the new battery must correspond with that of the old battery or with the recommendations of Ford. Contact a Ford Dealer for the correct battery specifications. • With the ignition and all electrical equipment switched off, always remove the negative (–) cable first.
Page 188 Connect batteries with only the same nominal voltage (12 volts). Use jump leads with insulated clamps and adequate size cable. Do not disconnect the battery from the vehicle's electrical system. Suitable jump leads can be obtained from your Ford Dealer.
Page 189 Roadside emergencies To connect the leads • Position the vehicles so that they do not touch one another. • Switch off the engine. Switch off Flat any unnecessary electrical battery equipment. • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (lead 1).
Page 190 Roadside emergencies To start the engine • Run the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery at moderately high speed. • Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery. • Run both vehicles for a further three minutes before disconnecting the leads.
Page 191 TOWING THE VEHICLE The vehicle is equipped with a screw in towing eye for the front and rear, for attaching a Ford or Motorcraft tow rope. The towing eye is stored with the jack in the luggage compartment, and must always be carried in the vehicle.
