ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNINGS
Do not dispose of coolant in the
household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized
waste disposal facility.
Do not put coolant in the windshield
washer reservoir. If sprayed on the
windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield.
E170684
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, immediately
add coolant.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -30°F
(-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).

Maintenance
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems.
Adding Coolant
Do not remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the cooling system is hot.
Wait 10 minutes for the cooling
system to cool down. Cover the coolant
reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent
the possibility of scalding and slowly
remove the cap. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.
Do not allow the fluid 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.
We do not recommend the use of recycled
engine coolant since a Ford-approved
recycling process is not yet available.
Do not mix different colors or types of
coolant in your vehicle.
Note: Add a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze
and water or prediluted engine coolant that
meets the correct specification.
Note: Use fluids which meet the
specifications or requirements defined. Use
of other fluids may lead to damage which
is not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
To top up the coolant level do the
following:
1.
Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
2. Add coolant to the MAX mark, do not
overfill.
