Maintenance When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery that matches the electrical requirements of the vehicle. Because your vehicle's engine is electronically-controlled by a computer, some engine control settings are maintained by power from the low voltage battery. Some engine computer settings, like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy, optimize the driveability and performance of the engine. Some other computer settings, like the clock and radio station presets, are also maintained in memory by power from the low voltage battery. When a technician disconnects and connects the low voltage battery, these settings are erased. Complete the following procedure in order to restore the settings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake. Shift the transmission into P. Turn off all accessories. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.

Reset the power windows bounce-back feature. See Windows and Mirrors (page 66). Reset the radio station presets. See Audio System (page 239). Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.

Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the accelerator pedal. 9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.

Note: Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner. Follow your local authorized standards for disposal.
