ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNINGS

Never remove the coolant reservoir

cap when the engine is running or

hot.

Do not put coolant in the windshield

washer reservoir. If sprayed on the

windshield, 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 you loosen the cap

slightly.

Do not add coolant further than the

MAX mark.

When the engine is cold, check the

concentration and level of the coolant at

the intervals listed in the scheduled

maintenance information. See Scheduled

Maintenance (page 485).

Note: Make sure that the coolant level is

between the MIN and MAX marks on the

coolant reservoir.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The

level may extend beyond the MAX mark.

272

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

Maintain coolant concentration within

48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze

point between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F

(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be

checked using a refractometer. We do not

recommend the use of hydrometers or

coolant test strips for measuring coolant

concentration.

Adding Coolant

WARNINGS

Do not add engine coolant when the

engine is hot. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in personal

injury.

Never remove the coolant reservoir

cap when the engine is running or

hot.

Note: Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable. Take care not to put

engine coolant in the windshield washer

fluid reservoir or windshield washer fluid in

the engine coolant reservoir.

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling

system sealants, or non-specified additives

as they can cause damage to the engine

cooling or heating systems. Resulting

component damage may not be covered by

the vehicle Warranty.

It is very important to use prediluted

coolant approved to the correct

specification in order to avoid plugging the

small passageways in the engine cooling

system. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 332). 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 332).

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.

If the coolant level is at or below the

minimum mark, add prediluted coolant

immediately.

To top up the coolant level do the

following:

1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure

escapes as you unscrew the cap.

2. Add prediluted coolant approved to

the correct specification. See

Capacities and Specifications (page

332).

3. Add enough prediluted coolant to

reach the correct level.

4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap, turn

it clockwise until you feel a strong

resistance.

5. Check the coolant level in the coolant

reservoir the next few times you drive

your vehicle. If necessary, add enough

prediluted engine coolant to bring the

coolant level to the correct level.

If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of

engine coolant per month, have your

vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Operating an engine with a low level of

coolant can result in engine overheating

and possible engine damage.

273

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

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.

In case of emergency, you can add a large

amount of water without engine coolant

in order to reach a vehicle service location.

In this instance, qualified personnel:

1. Must drain the cooling system.

2. Chemically clean the coolant system.

3. Refill with engine coolant as soon as

possible.

Water alone, without engine coolant, can

cause engine damage from corrosion,

overheating or freezing.

Do not use the following as a coolant

substitute:

• Alcohol.

• Methanol.

• Brine.

• Any coolant mixed with alcohol or

methanol antifreeze.

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 coolant.

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.

Severe Climates

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 you drive in extremely hot climates:

• You can decrease the coolant

concentration to 40%.

• Coolant concentrations below 40%

decrease the freeze and corrosion

protection characteristics of the

coolant and may cause engine

damage.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme

climates should use prediluted coolant for

optimum cooling system and engine

protection.

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 332).

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:

274

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

A warning lamp illuminates and

a message may appear in the

information display.

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.

When this occurs, your vehicle still

operates, however:

• Engine power is limited.

• The air conditioning system turns off.

Continued operation increases the engine

temperature, causing the engine to

completely shut down. Your steering and

braking effort increases in this situation.

When the engine temperature cools, you

can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle

checked as soon as possible to minimize

engine damage.

When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated

WARNINGS

Fail-safe mode is for use during

emergencies only. Operate your

vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long

as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest

in a safe location and seek immediate

repairs. When in fail-safe mode, your

vehicle will have limited power, will not be

able to maintain high-speed operation, and

may completely shut down without

warning, potentially losing engine power,

power steering assist, and power brake

assist, which may increase the possibility

of a crash resulting in serious injury.

Never remove the coolant reservoir

cap when the engine is running or

hot.

Your vehicle has limited engine power

when in the fail-safe mode, drive your

vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not

maintain high-speed operation and the

engine may operate poorly.

Remember that the engine is capable of

automatically shutting down to prevent

engine damage. In this situation:

1. Pull off the road as soon as safely

possible and switch the engine off.

2. If you are a member of a roadside

assistance program, we recommend

that you contact your roadside

assistance service provider.

3. If this is not possible, wait a short

period for the engine to cool.

4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant

level is at or below the minimum mark,

add prediluted coolant immediately.

5. When the engine temperature cools,

you can re-start the engine. Have your

vehicle checked as soon as possible to

minimize engine damage.

Note: Driving your vehicle without repair

increases the chance of engine damage.

Engine Coolant Temperature

Management (If Equipped)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of crash and injury,

be prepared that the vehicle speed

may reduce and the vehicle may not

be able to accelerate with full power until

the coolant temperature reduces.

If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, the

engine may temporarily reach a higher

temperature during severe operating

conditions, for example ascending a long

or steep grade in high ambient

temperatures.

275

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

At this time, you may notice the coolant

temperature gauge moves toward the red

zone and a message may appear in the

information display.

You may notice a reduction in vehicle

speed caused by reduced engine power in

order to manage the engine coolant

temperature. Your vehicle may enter this

mode if certain high-temperature and

high-load conditions take place. The

amount of speed reduction depends on

vehicle loading, grade and ambient

temperature. If this occurs, there is no

need to stop your vehicle. You can

continue to drive.

The air conditioning may automatically

turn on and off during severe operating

conditions to protect the engine from

overheating. When the coolant

temperature decreases to the normal

operating temperature, the air conditioning

turns on.

If the coolant temperature gauge moves

fully into the red zone, or if the coolant

temperature warning or service engine

soon messages appear in your information

display, do the following:

1. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe

to do so. Fully apply the parking brake,

shift into park (P) or neutral (N).

2. Leave the engine running until the

coolant temperature gauge needle

returns to the normal position. After

several minutes, if the temperature

does not drop, follow the remaining

steps.

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.

5. If the coolant level is normal, restart

the engine and continue.

incorrect fluid could result in the loss of

vehicle control, serious personal injury or

death.

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.

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.

A fluid level between the MAX and

278

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

E170684

To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir

cap must remain in place and fully tight,

unless you are adding fluid.

Only use fluid that meets Ford

specifications. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 332).

POWER STEERING FLUID

CHECK

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric

power steering (EPS) system. There is no

fluid reservoir to check or fill.

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 332).

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.

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.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY

WARNINGS

Batteries normally produce explosive

gases which can cause personal

injury. Therefore, do not allow

flames, sparks or lighted substances to

come near the battery. When working near

the battery, always shield your face and

protect your eyes. Always provide correct

ventilation.

When lifting a plastic-cased battery,

excessive pressure on the end walls

could cause acid to flow through the

vent caps, resulting in personal injury and

damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the

battery with a battery carrier or with your

hands on opposite corners.

279

Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing

Maintenance

WARNINGS

Keep batteries out of reach of

children. Batteries contain sulfuric

acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or

clothing. Shield your eyes when working

near the battery to protect against possible

splashing of acid solution. In case of acid

contact with skin or eyes, flush

immediately with water for a minimum of

15 minutes and get prompt medical

attention. If acid is swallowed, call a

physician immediately.

Battery posts, terminals and related

accessories contain lead and lead

compounds. Wash hands after

handling.

Your vehicle has a Motorcraft®

maintenance-free battery which normally

does not require additional water during

its life of service.

Note: If your vehicle's battery has a cover

or shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the

battery has been cleaned or replaced.

Note: See an authorized dealer for low

voltage battery access, testing, or

replacement.

When a low voltage battery replacement

is necessary, see an authorized dealer to

replace the low voltage battery with a Ford

recommended replacement low voltage

battery that matches the electrical

requirements of the vehicle.

To ensure proper operation of the battery

management system (BMS), do not allow

a technician to connect any electrical

device ground connection directly to the

low voltage battery negative post. A

connection at the low voltage battery

negative post can cause inaccurate

measurements of the battery condition

and potential incorrect system operation.

Note: If a person adds electrical or

electronic accessories or components to the

vehicle, the accessories or components may

adversely affect the low voltage battery

performance and durability and may also

affect the performance of other electrical

systems in the vehicle.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the

top of the battery clean and dry. Also,

make certain the battery cables are always

tightly fastened to the battery terminals.

If you see any corrosion on the battery or

terminals, remove the cables from the

terminals and clean with a wire brush. You

can neutralize the acid with a solution of

baking soda and water.

When a battery replacement is required,

the battery should only be replaced with

a Ford recommended replacement battery

that matches the electrical requirements

of the vehicle.

Because your vehicle’s engine is

electronically-controlled by a computer,

some engine control settings are

maintained by power from the low voltage

battery. Some engine computer settings,

like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy,

optimize the driveability and performance

of the engine. Some other computer

settings, like the clock and radio station

presets, are also maintained in memory by

power from the low voltage battery. When

a technician disconnects and connects the

low voltage battery, these settings are

erased. Complete the following procedure

in order to restore the settings:

1. With the vehicle at a complete stop,

set the parking brake.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR

FILTER

WARNING

To reduce the risk of vehicle damage

and/or personal burn injuries do not

start your engine with the air cleaner

removed and do not remove it while the

engine is running.

When changing the air filter element, use

only the air filter element listed. See

Capacities and Specifications (page

332).

For EcoBoost equipped vehicles: When

servicing the air cleaner, it is important that

no foreign material enter the air induction

system. The engine and turbocharger are

susceptible to damage from even small

particles.

Change the air filter element at the proper

interval. See Scheduled Maintenance

(page 485).

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter

element may result in severe engine

damage. The customer warranty may be

void for any damage to the engine if the

correct air filter element is not used.

E144365

1. Release the clamps that secure the air

filter housing cover.

2. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.

3. Remove the air filter element from the

air filter housing.

4. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter

housing and cover to make sure no dirt

gets in the engine and to make sure you

have a good seal.

5. Install a new air filter element. Be

careful not to crimp the filter element

edges between the air filter housing

and cover. This could cause filter

damage and allow unfiltered air to

enter the engine if not properly seated.

6. Install the air filter housing cover.

7. Engage the clamps to secure the air

filter housing cover to the air filter

housing.
