If you drive in extremely hot climates:

• It may be necessary to have a Ford authorized dealer decrease the

coolant concentration to 40%.

• A coolant concentration of 40% will provide improved overheat

protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the

corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant

and may cause engine damage.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use

prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine

protection.

Engine Fluid Temperature Management (If Equipped)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of collision and injury, be

prepared that the vehicle speed may reduce and the vehicle may

not be able to accelerate with full power until the fluid temperatures

reduce.

Your vehicle has been designed to pull a trailer, but because of the added

load, the vehicle’s engine may temporarily reach higher temperatures

during severe operating conditions such as ascending a long or steep

grade while pulling a trailer in hot ambient temperatures.

At this time, you may notice your engine coolant temperature gauge

needle move toward the H and the POWER REDUCED TO LOWER

TEMP message may appear in the information display.

You may notice a reduction in the vehicle’s speed caused by reduced

engine power. Your vehicle has been designed to enter this mode if

certain high temperature/high load conditions take place in order to

manage the engine’s fluid temperatures. The amount of speed reduction

will depend on the vehicle loading, towing, grade, ambient temperature,

and other factors. If this occurs, there is no need to pull off the road.

The vehicle can continue to be driven while this message is active.

The air conditioning may also cycle on and off during severe operating

conditions to protect overheating of the engine. When the engine coolant

temperature decreases to a more normal operating temperature, the air

conditioning will turn on once again.
