IKT near the key ring in order to
remove the battery cover.
Note:Do not wipe off any grease on
the battery terminals on the back
surface of the circuit board.

Note:Please refer to local
regulations when disposing of
transmitter batteries.

the instructions inside the IKT for
the correct orientation of the
battery. Press the battery down to
ensure that the battery is fully

the key.

deprogrammed from your vehicle. The IKT should operate normally after
battery replacement.

Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
Ford production and Motorcraftreplacement oil filters are designed for
added engine protection and long life. If a replacement oil filter is used
that does not meet Ford material and design specifications, start-up
engine noises or knock may be experienced.
It is recommended you use the appropriate Motorcraftoil filter or
another with equivalent performance for your engine application.
LOW VOLTAGE (UNDERHOOD) BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Motorcraftmaintenance-free
battery which normally does not
require additional water during its
life of service.
If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.
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.
Note: Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to
the vehicle by the dealer or the owner (e.g. spot lights, electric
winch, etc.) may adversely affect vehicle performance and
durability.
