WARNINGS

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.

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.

Use only the specified jacking points.
If you use other positions, you may
damage the body, steering,

suspension, engine, braking system or the
fuel lines.

Use only adequately sized cables
with insulated clamps.

Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.

negative (-) cable to an exposed metal
part of the stalled vehicle's engine,
away from the battery and the fuel
injection system, or connect the
negative (-) cable to a ground
connection point if available.

WARNINGS

Do not connect the end of the
second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped.

A spark may cause an explosion of the
gases that surround the battery.

Make sure that the cables are clear
of any moving parts and fuel delivery
system parts.

To Start the Engine

1.

Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and rev the engine moderately, or press
the accelerator gently to keep your
engine speed between 2000 and 3000
RPM, as shown in your tachometer.

2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.

3. Once the disabled vehicle has been

started, run both vehicle engines for an
additional three minutes before
disconnecting the jumper cables.

Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order that they were connected.

Note: Do not switch the headlamps on
when disconnecting the cables. The peak
voltage could blow the bulbs.

POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM

The system flashes the direction indicators
and sounds the horn (intermittently) in the
event of a serious impact that deploys an
airbag (front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy) or the seatbelt pretensioners.

The horn and indicators turn off when:
•

You press the hazard control button.

•

You press the panic button on the
remote entry transmitter (if equipped).

•

Your vehicle runs out of power.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

E143886

If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional towing service or,
if you are a member of a roadside
assistance program, your roadside
assistance service provider.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your
vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford
Motor Company has not approved a
slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle
damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or
by any other means.

Ford Motor Company produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures for your vehicle.

It is acceptable to have your front-wheel
drive vehicle towed from the front if using
proper wheel lift equipment to raise the
front wheels off the ground. When towing
in this manner, the rear wheels can remain
on the ground.

Front-wheel drive vehicles must have the
front wheels placed on a tow dolly when
towing your vehicle from the rear using
wheel lift equipment. This prevents
damage to the transmission.

Towing an all-wheel or four-wheel drive
vehicle requires that all wheels be off the
ground, such as using a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment. This prevents
damage to the transmission, all-wheel or
four-wheel drive system and vehicle.

GETTING THE SERVICES YOU
NEED

Warranty repairs to your vehicle must be
performed by an authorized dealer. While
any authorized dealer handling your vehicle
line will provide warranty service, we
recommend you return to your selling
authorized dealer who wants to ensure
your continued satisfaction.

Please note that certain warranty repairs
require special training and equipment, so
not all authorized dealers are authorized
to perform all warranty repairs. This means
that, depending on the warranty repair
needed, you may have to take your vehicle
to another authorized dealer.

A reasonable time must be allowed to
perform a repair after taking your vehicle
to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be
made using Ford or Motorcraft® parts, or
remanufactured or other parts that are
authorized by Ford.
