Make sure that the coolant level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is at
or below the minimum mark, add coolant
immediately.
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -29°C and -34°C.
Note: Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may expand beyond the MAX mark.
Note: Do not use Stop Leak Pellets, cooling
system sealants or additives as they can
cause damage to the engine cooling or
heating systems.
Adding Engine Coolant
WARNINGS
Do not remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Only add coolant when the engine is
cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10
minutes for the engine to cool down.

Maintenance
Do not allow the coolant to touch
your skin or eyes. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately
with plenty of water and contact your
physician.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilled on a hot exhaust.
Do not mix different colors or types
of coolant in your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company does not recommend
the use of recycled engine coolant since a
Ford-approved recycling process is not yet
available.
Note: Add a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze
and water or prediluted engine coolant that
meets the correct specification.
Note: Use coolants which meet the
specifications or requirements defined. Use
of other coolants may lead to damage
which is not covered by your vehicle's
Warranty. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 253).
To top up the coolant level do the
following:
1. Unscrew the cap SLOWLY. Any
pressure will escape as you unscrew
the cap.
2. Add engine coolant to the MAX mark,
do not overfill.
3. Refit filler cap. Turn it clockwise until
you feel a strong click.
Note: In case of emergency, you can add
water without engine coolant in order to
reach a vehicle service location.
Note: Prolonged use of an incorrect dilution
of engine coolant can cause engine damage,
such as corrosion, overheating or freezing.
