Note: Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant

or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid

outside of its specified function and vehicle

location.

Checking the Inverter System

Controller Coolant

When the engine is cold, check the

concentration and level of the inverter

system controller coolant at the intervals

listed in the scheduled maintenance

information. See Scheduled

Maintenance (page 430).

Note: Make sure that the level is between

the MIN and MAX marks on the inverter

system controller coolant reservoir.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The

level may extend beyond the MAX mark.

Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below

the MIN mark, or empty, add prediluted

coolant immediately. See Adding Inverter

System Controller Coolant in this chapter.

The coolant concentration should be

maintained at 50%.

Note: For best results, coolant

concentration should be tested with a

refractometer such as Rotunda tool

ROB75240 available from your dealer. Ford

does not recommend the use of

hydrometers or coolant test strips for

measuring coolant concentrations.

Note: It is very important to use prediluted

coolant meeting the Ford specification in

order to avoid plugging the small coolant

passageways. Use of concentrated coolant

and water may cause coolant passageway

plugging and void the warranty. See

Capacities and Specifications (page 297).

Note: Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant

or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid

outside of its specified function and vehicle

location.

Adding Coolant

WARNINGS

Do not add engine coolant when the

engine is hot. Steam and scalding

liquids released from a hot cooling

system can burn you badly. Also, you can

be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine

parts.

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.

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 cooling or heating

systems. This damage would not be covered

under your vehicle’s warranty.

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.
