Plain water may be added in an emergency, but you must replace it with

a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir before you drive your vehicle the

next few times (with the engine cool). If necessary, add a 50/50

mixture of engine coolant and distilled water to the engine coolant

reservoir until the coolant level is at the “cold fill level” or within the

“cold fill range” as listed on the reservoir (depending upon application).

Have your dealer check the engine cooling system for leaks if you have

to add more than 1.0 liter (1.0 quart) of engine coolant per month.

To avoid scalding hot steam or coolant from being released from

the engine cooling system, never remove the radiator cap while

the engine is running or hot. Failure to follow this warning may result

in damage to the engine’s cooling system and possible severe personal

injury.

If you must remove the radiator cap, follow these steps to avoid personal

injury:

1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off and let it cool.

2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly

turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.

3. Step back while the pressure releases.

4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the

cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.

Recycled engine coolant

Ford Motor Company recommends the use of a recycled engine coolant

produced by Ford-approved processes.

Not all coolant recycling processes produce coolant which meets Ford

specification ESE-M97B44-A. Use of a recycled engine coolant which

does not meet the Ford specification may harm engine and cooling

system components.

Always dispose of used automotive fluids in a responsible manner.

Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling and

disposing of automotive fluids.
