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
