Maintenance Battery Management System (If Equipped) The battery management system (BMS) monitors battery conditions and takes actions to extend battery life. If excessive battery drain is detected, the system may temporarily disable certain electrical features to protect the battery. Those electrical accessories affected include the rear defrost, heated/cooled seats, climate control fan, heated steering wheel, audio and navigation system. A message may be shown in the information displays to alert the driver that battery protection actions are active. These messages are only for notification that an action is taking place, and not intended to indicate an electrical problem or that the battery requires replacement. Electrical accessory installation To ensure proper operation of the Battery Management System, any electrical devices that are added to your vehicle should not have their ground connection made directly at the negative battery post. A connection at the negative battery post can cause inaccurate measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system operation. Note: Electrical or electronic accessories added to your vehicle by the dealer or the owner, may adversely affect battery performance and durability, and may affect the performance of other electrical systems in your vehicle. When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be replaced with a Ford-recommended replacement battery that matches the electrical requirements of your vehicle. After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with the external charger, the Battery Management System requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time (key off with doors closed) to relearn the new battery state of charge. Prior to relearning the state of charge, the Battery Management System may disable electrical features (to protect the battery) earlier than normal. CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES E142463 Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade to check for roughness. Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

Battery Management System (If

Equipped)

The battery management system (BMS)

monitors battery conditions and takes

actions to extend battery life. If excessive

battery drain is detected, the system may

temporarily disable certain electrical

features to protect the battery. Those

electrical accessories affected include the

rear defrost, heated/cooled seats, climate

control fan, heated steering wheel, audio

and navigation system. A message may be

shown in the information displays to alert

the driver that battery protection actions

are active. These messages are only for

notification that an action is taking place,

and not intended to indicate an electrical

problem or that the battery requires

replacement.

Electrical accessory installation

To ensure proper operation of the Battery

Management System, any electrical

devices that are added to your vehicle

should not have their ground connection

made directly at the negative battery post.

A connection at the negative battery post

can cause inaccurate measurements of

the battery condition and potential

incorrect system operation.

Note:

Electrical or electronic accessories

added to your vehicle by the dealer or the

owner, may adversely affect battery

performance and durability, and may affect

the performance of other electrical systems

in your vehicle.

When a battery replacement is required,

the battery should only be replaced with

a Ford-recommended replacement battery

that matches the electrical requirements

of your vehicle. After battery replacement,

or in some cases after charging the battery

with the external charger, the Battery

Management System requires eight hours

of vehicle sleep time (key off with doors

closed) to relearn the new battery state of

charge. Prior to relearning the state of

charge, the Battery Management System

may disable electrical features (to protect

the battery) earlier than normal.
