Note: Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to the vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery performance and durability. Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals. If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the acid with a solution of baking soda and water. It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an extended period of time. Because your vehicle ’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer, some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance. To begin this process 1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake. 2. Put the gearshift in park (P) or neutral (N) and turn off all accessories. 3. Start the engine. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. 4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. 5. Turn the air conditioning (if equipped) on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. 6. Release the parking brake. With your foot on the brake pedal and with the air conditioning on, put the vehicle in drive (D) and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. •If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle trim is eventually relearned. 7. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process •The vehicle may need to be driven 10 mi (16 km) or more to relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy along with the ethanol content for flexible fuel vehicles. If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock and radio settings must be reset once the battery is reconnected. Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner. Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive batteries. 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 208 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Maintenance
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 BMS, any electrical devices that are added to the 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 the vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery performance and durability, and may also affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle. When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery which matches the electrical requirements of the vehicle. After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with the external charger, the BMS 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 BMS may disable electrical features (to protect the battery) earlier than normal. CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES 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. CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES You can manually move the wiper arms when the ignition is off. This allows for ease of blade replacement and cleaning under the blades. 1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away from the glass. 209 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing MaintenanceE142463 E165804
2. Release the wiper blade lock (A) and separate the wiper blade from the wiper arm. 3. Install in the reverse order. Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks into place. Lower the wiper arm and blade back on the windshield. The wiper arms will automatically return to their normal position when you turn the ignition on. • Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance. • You can improve poor wiper quality by cleaning the wiper blades and the windshield. ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS Vertical Aim Adjustment The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps should be checked by your authorized dealer. Headlamp Aiming Target 8 feet (2.4 meters) A Center height of lamp to ground B 25 feet (7.6 meters) C Horizontal reference line D Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure 1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface, approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) away. 2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark an 8 ft (2.4 m) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height. Note: To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other. 3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. 210 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing MaintenanceA E165794 E142592
4. On the wall or screen you will observe a flat zone of high intensity light located at the top of the right hand portion of the beam pattern. If the top edge of the high intensity light zone is not at the horizontal reference line, the headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster either clockwise or counterclockwise in order to adjust the vertical aim of the headlamp. 6. Repeat Steps 3 thru 5 to adjust the other headlamp. 7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps. Horizontal Aim Adjustment Horizontal aim is not required for this vehicle and is not adjustable. REMOVING A HEADLAMP 1. Remove the four bolts from the headlamp assembly. 2. Pull the assembly straight out disengaging one snap clip from the fender. 3. Disconnect the electrical connector by squeezing the release tab and pushing the connector forward, then pulling it rearward. CHANGING A BULB WARNING Bulbs can become hot. Let the bulb cool down before removing it. Failure to do so could result in personal injury. Headlamp bulbs must be marked with an authorized D.O.T. marking for North America to make sure they have the proper lamp performance, light brightness, light pattern and safe visibility. Install in the reverse order unless otherwise stated. Headlamp Bulbs 1.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR FILTER - 6.7L DIESEL Air Filter Restriction Gauge WARNING To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air filter removed and do not remove it while the engine is running. Note: Operating your vehicle in heavy snowfall or extreme rain conditions may allow excessive amounts of snow or water into the air intake system. This could plug or soak the air filter that could cause the engine to lose power or shut down. The restriction gauge, located on the upper housing of the air filter assembly, measures the vacuum inside the air filter. The more the air filter is restricted (dirty, clogged), the higher the vacuum reading. Check the air filter restriction gauge whenever you open the hood to perform general engine maintenance or at least every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). If you operate your vehicle in extremely dusty conditions, check and reset the gauge at least every 500 miles (800 km), or two weeks, whichever comes first. Change the 213 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing MaintenanceE163372
air filter when the restriction gauge reads near the change filter line and the gauge is yellow. If you allow the restriction gauge to reach maximum restriction you can affect your engine performance and fuel economy. Note: Do not blow out the air filter element with compressed air since the compressed air could damage the filter paper. Note: Do not rely on filter appearance alone. A filter which appears to be dirty may actually have several thousand miles (kilometers) of life remaining. After installation of the new filter element, reset the gauge by pressing the reset button on top of the gauge. The following actions are recommend after operating the vehicle up to 200 miles (320 km) in heavy snowfall or extreme rain: • Snow: At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and clear all the snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do NOT remove the foam filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge. • Extreme rain: The air filter will dry after about 15– 30 minutes at highway speeds. At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and reset the air filter restriction gauge. Air Filter Replacement When replacing the air filter element, use a Motorcraft® air filter element. See Motorcraft Parts (page 257). Note: Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe engine damage. 214 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing MaintenanceE163373
