Engine Coolant Check; Adding Engine Coolant; Brake And Clutch Fluid Check - Ford 2014 ECOSPORT Owner's Manual

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNING
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.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant
immediately.

Adding Engine Coolant

WARNINGS
Only add coolant when the engine is
cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10
minutes for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
Note: Inspect or replace the lid with the car
turned off and the engine cold, to avoid
injuries or burns.
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.

Maintenance
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 147).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you
feel a strong resistance.
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
Use of any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid may
reduce brake efficiency and not meet
Ford's performance standards.
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 doctor.
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only fluid that meets Ford
specifications and from a sealed
container.
