MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
After performing the necessary corrective
action, bleeding air from the system is
performed by the hand pump on the filter
head.
Press until hand pump is stiffened, and start
the engine when the pump is stiffened.
WARNING
Do not continue on starting attempts if the
vehicle does not start in a few attempt. There
may still be air inside the fuel line. Pump fuel
with the hand pump, then restart again.
CAUTION
Fuel that will be taken for the vehicles
operating in cold climates shall be cold climate
fuel resistant to waxing in cold weather.
Otherwise, water inside the fuel will freeze
and prevent flow of fuel to the engine; and the
engine will not start.
Engine coolant
Engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze
and 50% distilled water. Coolant circulates
inside the engine block and cools the engine
components. This fluid also cools the intarder
oil in vehicles with intarder.
CAUTION
Antifreeze does not prevent freezing of the
engine in winter only. It also lubricates the
water pump and extends its service life.
Ensure that the antifreeze complies with the
Ford specifications when you are purchasing
antifreeze. Lime and other chemicals in the
non-distilled water cause corrosion in the cast
engine block.
CAUTION
Freezing temperature of the 50% distilled
water and 50% antifreeze mixture is -37 ºC.
On colder climates, it is possible to achieve
protection up to -50ºC by adjusting the
mixture ratio to 40% distilled water and 60%
antifreeze. Maximum antifreeze ratio is 60%,
never exceed this ratio.
If the coolant level is lower than the MIN mark,
the x warning shall illuminate on the display. In
this case:
Engine
198
Engine coolant reservoir is under the hood.
The coolant level should be between the
MIN
and the MAX marks when the engine is cold,
and it shall be inspected daily.
