Engine Coolant Check
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. |
Note:
Make sure that the level is between the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot.The level may therefore extend beyond the MAX mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant immediately.
Adding Engine Coolant
Note:
Only add coolant when the engine is cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes for the engine to cool down.
|
WARNING:
Do not remove the filler cap when the engine is running. |
Note:
Do not remove the filler cap when the engine is hot. Wait for the engine to cool down.
Note:
Undiluted coolant is flammable and may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
Note:
Inspect or replace the lid with the vehicle turned off and the engine cold, to avoid injuries or burns.
Note:
In an emergency, you can add just water to the cooling system to reach a vehicle service station. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Note:
Prolonged use of incorrect dilution of the coolant can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Note:
Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:
If coolant levels are outside the standard operational range, the performance of the system may be compromised; seek an authorized dealer immediately.
Note:
The cooling system expansion reservoir lid should be inspected and cleaned every 3 years approximately. If there are any evidences of deterioration of the sealing ring, the lid should be replaced.
Note:
It is normal to see some air bubbles in the coolant reservoir fluid.
- Remove the filler cap. Any pressure will escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.
- Add a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized or distilled water using fluid that meets the Ford specifications. See Capacities and Specifications - 1.2L TiVCT.
- Replace the filler cap.Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong resistance and it clicks.
