BATTERY

The car fits a low-maintenance battery:
no top-ups with distilled water are
needed in normal conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried
out by specialised personnel, following
the prescriptions contained in the
Owner Handbook. ANY top-up
operations must be carried out by
specialised personnel and by a Ford
Dealership.
WARNING
The battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and
sources of sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with
an excessively low liquid
level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an
explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the "Service schedule" in this section
will no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions
provided by the battery manufacturer.
