Maintenance  
WARNING: When lifting a  
plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure  
on the end walls could cause acid to flow  
through the vent caps, resulting in  
personal injury and damage to the  
vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a  
battery carrier or with your hands on  
opposite corners.  
WARNING: Keep batteries out of  
reach of children. Batteries contain  
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,  
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when  
working near the battery to protect  
against possible splashing of acid  
solution. In case of acid contact with skin  
or eyes, flush immediately with water for  
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt  
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,  
call a physician immediately.

To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir  
cap must remain in place and fully tight,  
unless you are adding fluid.  
Only use fluid that meets Ford  
specifications. See Capacities and  
Specifications (page 297).  
WARNING: Battery posts,  
terminals and related accessories  
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash  
hands after handling.  
WARNING: For vehicles with  
Auto-Start-Stop the battery requirement  
is different. You must replace the battery  
with one of exactly the same  
specification.  
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK  
The clutch and brake systems share the  
same fluid reservoir. See Brake Fluid  
Check (page 249).  
The battery is in the engine compartment.  
See Under Hood Overview (page 238).  
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free  
battery. It does not require additional  
water during service.  
If the vehicle battery has a cover, make  
sure you correctly install it after cleaning  
or replacing the battery.  
WARNING: 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 correct ventilation.
