About Your Battery
Your vehicle may have a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery. When the original
equ ipment battery is rep laced und er warranty, it
may be rep laced by a Motorcraft
Low -Maintenance Battery.
Because you r vehicle’s engine is electronically
controlled by a com puter, som e control
cond itions are maintained by pow er from the
battery. If you ever disconnect the battery or
install a new battery, you must allow the
com puter to “relearn” its idle cond itions before
you r vehicle will drive prop erly. To begin this
process, put the gearshift in P (Park), set the
parking brake, tu rn off all the accessories, and
start the vehicle. Bring the engine to norm al
operating tem peratu re. Allow the engine to idle
for one minu te in N (Neutral) and one minu te in
Drive or Overd rive. Perform the previou s
proced ure with the air cond itioning on and off
(cond itions perm itting). The relearning process
will com plete au tom atically as you drive the
vehicle.
Driveability may be deteriorated slightly until all
drive mod es are “relearned .”
If you do not let the engine relearn its idle, the
idle qu ality of you r vehicle may be ad versely
affected until the idle is relearned . Your vehicle
will eventu ally relearn its idle while you drive
it, bu t it takes much longer than if you use the
previou s proced ure.
