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.
The coolant level is visible through
the translucent reservoir. The coolant
level should be between the
MIN
and the MAX mark when the engine
is cold. Hot coolant expands and
may, therefore, extend beyond the
MAX
mark.
WARNING
Take great care when adding
coolant. Avoid spillage on any
part of the engine.
The coolant should be added when
the engine is cold. If coolant has to
be added when the engine is hot, first
wait 10 minutes for the engine to
cool. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any
pressure will escape while you are
turning the cap. Fully remove the cap.
When the vehicle is new, the cooling
system is filled with coolant which
offers anti-freeze protection down to
approximately -25ºC.
WARNING
Do not allow this fluid to make
contact with the skin or eyes. If
this should happen rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of
water and contact your doctor.
Add coolant that meets the Ford
Specification.
