Topping Up

WARNINGS

Oil Consumption

Only top up when the engine is cold.

If the engine is hot, wait 15 minutes

for the engine to cool down.

In the first 5,000 km (run-in period) the oil

consumption is higher, and therefore the

oil level should be checked more

frequently. Maximum acceptable

consumption in this period is one liter. After

the break-in period the engine can

consume up to one liter every 10,000 km.

If the consumption is higher, go to your

Ford Dealer.

Oil consumption also depends on driving

style and vehicle use. Special operating

conditions such as, operating your vehicle

frequently at high speeds, could increase

oil consumption.

Do not remove the filler cap when

the engine is running.

Remove the filler cap.

WARNING

Do not top up further than the MAX

mark.

Note: Oil expands when it is hot. Checking

the oil level when hot will be above the MAX

mark.

Oil Filter

Note: Soak up any spillage with an

The oil filter's function is to filter out

harmful particles without obstructing the

absorbent cloth immediately.

Top up with fluid that meets the Ford

specification. See Technical

Specifications (page 140).

Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel

a strong resistance.

WARNING

Note: If coolant levels are outside the

standard operational range, the

performance of the system may be

compromised; seek a Ford Dealer

immediately.

Note: The cooling system expansion

reservoir lid should be inspected and

cleaned every 3 years approximately. If there

are any evidences of deterioration of the

sealing ring, the lid should be replaced.

Do not allow the fluid to touch your

skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the

affected areas immediately with

plenty of water and contact your physician.

Note: Make sure that the level is between

the MIN and the MAX marks.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The

level may therefore extend beyond the MAX

mark.

Note: It is normal to see some air bubbles

in the coolant reservoir fluid.

If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant

Adding Engine Coolant

WARNINGS

2. Add a mixture of 50% coolant and

50% water using fluid that meets the

Ford specifications. See Technical

Specifications (page 128).

Only add coolant when the engine is

cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10

minutes for the engine to cool down.

3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you

feel a strong resistance.

Do not remove the filler cap when

the engine is running.

BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID

CHECK

Do not remove the filler cap when

the engine is hot. Wait for the engine

to cool down.

WARNINGS

Undiluted coolant is flammable and

Use of any fluid other than the

recommended brake fluid may

reduce brake efficiency and not meet

Ford's performance standards.

may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.

Note: Inspect or replace the lid with the car

turned off and the engine cold, to avoid

injuries or burns.

Note: In an emergency, you can add just

water to the cooling system to reach a

vehicle service station. Have the system

checked by a Ford Dealer as soon as

possible.

Do not allow the fluid to touch your

skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the

affected areas immediately with

plenty of water and contact your doctor.

Clean the filler cap before removing.

Use only fluid that meets Ford

specifications and from a sealed

container.

Note: Prolonged use of incorrect dilution

of the coolant can cause engine damage

from corrosion, overheating or freezing.

119

Ecosport (CBW) India

Maintenance

Note: Keep brake fluid clean and dry.

WARNING

You must replace the battery with

one of exactly the same

specification.

Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum

products or other materials may result in

brake system damage and possible failure.

Note: The brake and the clutch systems are

supplied from the same reservoir.

Note: For vehicles with a manual

transmission, if the battery goes flat or you

install a new battery, the engine will not

start until you press and hold the clutch

pedal down for two seconds then release

the clutch pedal and wait two seconds with

the key turned to the on position and the

engine is off.

The fluid level will drop slowly as the

brakes wear, and will rise when the brake

components are replaced.

Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX

lines are within the normal operating range;

there is no need to add fluid.

If the fluid levels are outside of the normal

operating range, the performance of the

system could be compromised; seek

service from you authorized dealer

immediately.

The battery is located in the engine

compartment. See Maintenance (page

112).

To remove and install the battery:

Top up with fluid that meets the Ford

specification. See Technical

Specifications (page 128).

Note: Do not loosen the powertrain control

module from the bracket.

Note: Do not disconnect the powertrain

control module from the connector.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

Note: The reservoir supplies the front and

rear washer systems.

When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer

fluid and water to help prevent freezing in

cold weather and improve the cleaning

capability. We recommend that you use

only high quality washer fluid.

For information on fluid dilution, refer to

the product instructions.

Your engine has been designed to be used with Ford Specification Engine Oil, which gives

a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.

Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined by

WSS-M2C913-C or WSS-M2C948-B (petrol engines only), you must use SAE 5W-30

that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5 certification.

Using topping up oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine cranking

periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission

levels.
