Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid

container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could

make it difficult to see through the windshield.

The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with green-colored Motorcraft

Premium Engine Coolant meeting Ford Specification ESE-M97B44–A. To

determine your vehicle’s coolant type (color), check your coolant

reservoir.

To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system

and maintain the warranty on the cooling system:

• Add Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant (green-colored),

VC-4–A (US) or CXC-10 (Canada), or the type of coolant

originally equipped in your vehicle. If you are unsure which type

of coolant your vehicle requires, check your coolant reservoir or

contact your local dealer.

• Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such

as Motorcraft Speciality Orange Engine Coolant, VC-2 (US) or

CXC-209 (Canada), meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44–D

with the factory-filled coolant. Mixing Motorcraft Speciality Orange

Engine Coolant or any orange-colored extended life product with your

factory filled coolant can result in degraded corrosion protection.

• A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case

of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of

engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone

(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,

overheating or freezing.

• Do not use alcohol, methanol or 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.

• Do not mix with recycled coolant unless from a Ford-approved

recycling process (see Use of Recycled Engine Coolant section).

For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap

on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery
