Maintenance and Specifications
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.
Keeptheelectrolytelevelineachcelluptothe“levelindicator”.
Donotoverfillthebatterycells.
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.

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.
Batteries normally produce  explosive gases which  can cause
personal injury. Therefore,  do not allow  flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come  near the battery.  When working near the  battery,
always shield your  face and protect  your eyes. Always provide  proper
ventilation.
