B ENGINE OIL CHECK CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine. Note:The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after approximately 5 000 kilometres (3 000miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks. Note:
Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is on
level ground.
Note:Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAXmark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately.

skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse
the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks.Note:Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may therefore extend beyond
the MAX mark.

to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. The system
must then be drained and refilled with a
50/50 mixture of coolant and water. Have
the system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. Increased dilution of the coolant can
cause engine damage from
corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Unscrew the cap
slowly. Any pressure
will escape slowly as you unscrew the
cap. CAUTION
Do not top up further than the
MAX
mark. Top up with a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water using fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See
Technical
specifications (page 150).
