Maintenance WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident. Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford specifications. See Capacities and Specifications (page 267). State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive. Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging the vehicle's paint finish, wiper blades or washer system. WARNINGS This vehicle may be equipped with more than one battery, removal of cable from only one battery does not disconnect your vehicle electrical system. Be sure to disconnect cables from all batteries when disconnecting power. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury or property damage. 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. 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. Note: If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the battery has been cleaned or replaced. Note: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. Note: Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to your vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery performance and durability.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS Batteries normally produce explosive gases that can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances to come near the battery.
