WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of personal injury,

make sure the engine is cool before

unscrewing the coolant pressure

relief cap. The cooling system is under

pressure; steam and hot liquid can come

out forcefully when the cap is loosened

slightly.

Do not add coolant further than the

MAX mark.

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling

system sealants, or additives as they can

cause damage to the engine cooling or

heating systems. This damage would not

be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.

Note: During normal vehicle operation, the

engine coolant may change color from

orange to pink or light red. As long as the

engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,

this color change does not indicate the

engine coolant has degraded nor does it

require the engine coolant to be drained, the

system to be flushed, or the engine 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

engine coolants may harm your

engine’ s cooling system. The use of an

improper coolant may harm engine and

cooling system components and may

void the warranty. Use prediluted

engine coolant meeting the Ford

specification. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 262).

• In case of emergency, a large amount

of water without engine coolant may

be added in order to reach a vehicle

service location. In this instance, the

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 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 engine coolant.

Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will

escape as you unscrew the cap.

Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the

Ford specification. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 262).

Whenever coolant has been added, the

coolant level in the coolant reservoir

should be checked the next few times you

drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough

prediluted engine coolant to bring the

coolant level to the proper level.
