Note: During normal vehicle operation, the coolant may change color

from orange to pink or light red. As long as the coolant is clear and

uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the coolant has

degraded nor does it require the coolant to be drained, the system to be

flushed, or the coolant to be replaced.

• DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make

sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of coolants may harm your

cooling system. The use of an improper coolant may harm engine,

inverter system controller, and cooling system components and may

void the warranty.

• In case of emergency, a large amount of water without engine coolant

may be added to the engine cooling system only in order to reach a

vehicle service location. In this instance, the engine cooling system

must be drained, chemically cleaned with Motorcraft® Premium

Cooling System Flush, and refilled with prediluted engine coolant as

soon as possible. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause

engine damage from corrosion, overheating, or freezing. DO NOT use

this method for the inverter system controller cooling system. The

inverter system controller cooling system operates close to ambient

temperature, and is susceptible to freezing in any subfreezing

environment in the absence of coolant.

• Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants mixed with

alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other liquids can

cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.

• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be

harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.

Adding Engine Coolant

1. Remove the Easy Fuel funnel from the storage compartment. Refer to

Running Out of Fuel for the location of the Easy Fuel funnel.

2. Unscrew the engine coolant reservoir cap slowly. Any pressure will

escape as you unscrew the cap.

3. Position the Easy Fuel funnel in the engine coolant reservoir opening.

Push the Easy Fuel funnel neck fully into the engine coolant reservoir,

past the vent tube, in order to avoid pouring the coolant into the vent

tube and spilling the coolant on the ground.

4. Add prediluted engine coolant to the engine coolant reservoir. Make

sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the engine

coolant reservoir. Use prediluted engine coolant meeting the Ford

specification. See the technical specifications chart in the Capacities

and Specifications chapter.
