before starting the engine. If the  
engine was running, switch it off and  
wait some minutes for the engine oil

checking it. Pull out the dipstick, wipe

re-insert it completely and pull it out  
once more.  
To close, turn the cap clockwise until  
it clicks.  
ENGINE COOLANT  
CHECK  
If the level is between the marks,  
there is no need to refill. Hot oil may  
exceed the MAX mark by a few  
millimetres due to thermal expansion.  
If the level is at the MIN mark, refill  
using only engine oil meeting the  
Ford specification.

WARNING  
To avoid scalding, never remove  
the cap from the coolant  
reservoir when the engine is hot. Do  
not restart the engine until the  
problem has been eliminated.

Top up to only the upper mark (MAX).  
The coolant level is visible through  
the translucent reservoir. The coolant  
level should be between the MIN  
and the MAXmark when the engine  
is cold. Hot coolant expands and  
may, therefore, extend beyond the  
MAX mark.
