Brake And Clutch Fluid Check; Washer Fluid Check - Ford ECOSPORT 2016 Owner's Manual

Note: In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach a
vehicle service station. Have the system
checked by a Ford Dealer as soon as
possible.
Note: Prolonged use of incorrect dilution
of the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.
Note: If coolant levels are outside the
standard operational range, the
performance of the system may be
compromised; seek a Ford Dealer
immediately.
Note: The cooling system expansion
reservoir lid should be inspected and
cleaned every 3 years approximately. If there
are any evidences of deterioration of the
sealing ring, the lid should be replaced.
Note: It is normal to see some air bubbles
in the coolant reservoir fluid.
1. Remove the filler cap. Any pressure will
escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.
2. Add a mixture of 50% coolant and
50% water using fluid that meets the
Ford specifications. See Technical
Specifications (page 143).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you
feel a strong resistance.
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
WARNINGS
Use of any fluid other than the

Maintenance
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only fluid that meets Ford
specifications and from a sealed
container.
Note: Keep brake fluid clean and dry.
Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in
brake system damage and possible failure.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
The fluid level will drop slowly as the
brakes wear, and will rise when the brake
components are replaced.
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid.
If the fluid levels are outside of the normal
operating range, the performance of the
system could be compromised; seek
service from you authorized dealer
immediately.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 156).

WASHER FLUID CHECK

Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.
