These messages are only fornotification that an action is taking place,and not intended to indicate an electricalproblem or that the battery requiresreplacement.
Electrical accessory installation
To ensure proper operation of the BMS,any electrical devices that are added tothe vehicle should not have their groundconnection made directly at the negativebattery post. A connection at the negativebattery post can cause inaccuratemeasurements of the battery conditionand potential incorrect system operation.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessoriesadded to the vehicle by the dealer or theowner may adversely affect batteryperformance and durability, and may alsoaffect the performance of other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required,the battery should only be replaced witha Ford recommended replacement batterywhich matches the electrical requirementsof the vehicle. After battery replacement,or in some cases after charging the batterywith the external charger, the BMS requireseight hours of vehicle sleep time (key offwith doors closed) to relearn the newbattery state of charge. Prior to relearningthe state of charge, the BMS may disableelectrical features (to protect the battery)earlier than normal.

WARNINGS
Failure to maintain the functionalholes, in the tailpipe section of theexhaust, clean and free of debris orforeign material may result in the holesbecoming blocked or plugged. Do notmodify or remove the tail-pipe section.Blocked or plugged holes orremoval/modification of the system couldresult in elevated exhaust gastemperatures which may result invehicle/property damage or personalinjury.
The normal operating temperatureof the exhaust system is very high.Never work around or attempt torepair any part of the exhaust system untilit has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the diesel oxidationcatalytic converter and/or the dieselparticulate filter (DPF). The dieseloxidation catalytic converter and/or theDPF heats up to a high temperature afteronly a short period of engine operation andcan stay hot even after the engine is turnedoff. Failure to follow these instructions mayresult in personal injury.
The visible holes in the exhaust tip and theholes under the shield just inboard of theright rear tire(s) are functional. The holesneed to be kept clear of mud/debris orforeign material to maintain properfunction of the exhaust system. Clean andremove debris or foreign material if presentas needed. Spraying with a hose duringregular washing of vehicle should helpkeep holes clean and clear of debris orforeign material.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmentalfallout can result in windshield and wiperblade contamination. Dirty windshield andwipers will result in poor windshield wiperoperation. Keep the windshield and wiperblades clean to maintain windshield wiperperformance.
