ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

Engine Coolant and Inverter
System Controller Coolant
Your vehicle is equipped with two separate
cooling systems. One is for cooling the
engine and one is for cooling the inverter
system controller that is specific to the
hybrid operating system. The two systems
operate similarly, with the inverter system
controller cooling system generally
operating at a lower temperature and
pressure.
Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 445).
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the engine
coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Fusion/Mondeo (CC7)
Maintenance
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark, or empty, add prediluted
coolant immediately. See Adding Engine
Coolant in this chapter.
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).
Note: For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your dealer.
Ford does not recommend the use of
hydrometers or coolant test strips for
measuring coolant concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant
or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle
location.
Checking the Inverter System
Controller Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the inverter
system controller coolant at the intervals
listed in the scheduled maintenance
information. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 445).
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the inverter
system controller coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark, or empty, add prediluted
coolant immediately. See Adding Inverter
System Controller Coolant in this chapter.
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).
