specification in order to avoid plugging the

small passageways in the engine cooling

system. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 278). Do not mix

different colors or types of coolant in your

vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using

an incorrect coolant may harm the engine

or cooling system components and may

not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Note: If prediluted coolant is not available,

use the approved concentrated coolant

diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. See

Capacities and Specifications (page 278).

Using water that has not been deionised

may contribute to deposit formation,

corrosion and plugging of the small cooling

system passageways.

Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and

models may not be approved to Ford

specifications and may cause damage to

the cooling system. Resulting component

damage may not be covered by the vehicle

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

Recycled Coolant

We do not recommend the use of recycled

coolant as an approved recycling process

is not yet available.

Dispose of used engine coolant in an

appropriate manner. Follow your

community’s regulations and standards

for recycling and disposing of automotive

fluids.

Fail-Safe Cooling

Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily

drive your vehicle before any incremental

component damage occurs. The fail-safe

distance depends on ambient

temperature, vehicle load and terrain.

How Fail-Safe Cooling Works

If the engine begins to overheat, the

coolant temperature gauge moves toward

the red zone:

Severe Climates

A warning lamp illuminates and

a message may appear in the

information display.

If you drive in extremely cold climates:

•

It may be necessary to increase the

coolant concentration above 50%.

•

A coolant concentration of 60%

provides improved freeze point

protection. Coolant concentrations

above 60% decrease the overheat

protection characteristics of the

coolant and may cause engine

damage.

If the engine reaches a preset

over-temperature condition, the engine

automatically switches to alternating

cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder

acts as an air pump and cools the engine.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:

When this occurs, your vehicle still

•

You can decrease the coolant

operates, however:

concentration to 40%.

•

Engine power is limited.

The air conditioning system turns off.

•

Coolant concentrations below 40%

decrease the freeze and corrosion

protection characteristics of the

coolant and may cause engine

damage.

Continued operation increases the engine

temperature, causing the engine to

completely shut down. Your steering and

braking effort increases in this situation.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme

climates should use prediluted coolant for

optimum cooling system and engine

protection.

When the engine temperature cools, you

can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle

checked as soon as possible to minimize

engine damage.

Coolant Change

At specific mileage intervals, as listed in

the scheduled maintenance information,

the coolant should be changed. Add

prediluted coolant approved to the correct

specification. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 278).

as this will reduce brake efficiency. Use

of incorrect fluid could result in the loss

of vehicle control, serious personal injury

or death.

WARNING: Only use brake fluid

from a sealed container. Contamination

with dirt, water, petroleum products or

other materials may result in brake

system damage or failure. Failure to

adhere to this warning could result in the

loss of vehicle control, serious personal

injury or death.

3. Switch the engine off and wait for it to

cool. Check the coolant level.

4. If the coolant level is at or below the

minimum mark, add prediluted coolant

immediately.

WARNING: 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.

5. If the coolant level is normal, restart

the engine and continue.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

FLUID CHECK

WARNING: The brake system

could be affected if the brake fluid level

is below the MIN mark or above the MAX

mark on the brake fluid reservoir.

The automatic transmission does not have

a transmission fluid dipstick.

Have an authorized dealer check and

change the transmission fluid at the

correct service interval. See Scheduled

Maintenance

For detailed interval information, see

Scheduled Maintenance in your Owner's

Manual or your local maintenance guide.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

WARNING: If you operate your

vehicle in temperatures below 40°F

(5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze

protection. Failure to use washer fluid

with antifreeze protection in cold

weather could result in impaired

windshield vision and increase the risk

of injury or accident.

Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is

low. Only use a washer fluid that meets

Ford specifications. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 278).

State or local regulations on volatile

organic compounds may restrict the use

of methanol, a common windshield washer

antifreeze additive. Washer fluids

containing non-methanol antifreeze

agents should be used only if they provide

cold weather protection without damaging

the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or

washer system.

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface.

2. Look at the brake fluid reservoir to see

where the brake fluid level is relative

to the MIN and the MAX marks on the

reservoir.

Note: If the brake fluid level is between the

MIN and the MAX marks on the reservoir, it

is acceptable.

Note: If the brake fluid level is below the

MIN mark or above the MAX mark, have

your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note: To avoid fluid contamination, the

reservoir cap must remain in place and fully

tight, unless you are adding fluid.

FUEL FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime

fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel

tank. Regular maintenance or replacement

is not needed.

Only use fluid that meets our

specifications. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 278).

Brake Fluid Service Interval

Brake fluid absorbs water over time which

degrades the effectiveness of the brake

fluid. Change the brake fluid at the

specified intervals to prevent degraded

braking performance.
