WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
The cabin air filter improves the quality of
air in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen
and other particles.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 390).
The cabin air filter is behind the glove
compartment.
To remove the lower glove compartment
and access the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment.
2. Detach the damper by depressing the tabs and pulling it away from the glove
compartment. 3. Press the tabs on each side to release
the glove compartment. 4. Fully lower the glove compartment.
5.
Unclip both sides of the filter door and
swing door down to access filter. 6. Remove the old filter and replace with
a new filter.

Note: Some of these components are

and cannot be seen unless the cover is
removed. See
Installing and Removing
the Luggage Compartment Cover (page
277).
CHECKING THE COOLANT WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the vehicle
is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait
10 minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Do not put coolant in
the windshield washer reservoir. If
sprayed on the windshield, coolant could
make it difficult to see through the
windshield. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
Your vehicle has a battery cooling system
and a motor electrical cooling system. See
Under Hood Overview
(page 303). The
luggage compartment covers need to be
removed in order to access the reservoirs.
See
Installing and Removing the
Luggage Compartment Cover (page 277). When the electric motor is cold, check the
concentration and level of the coolant at
the intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 390).
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between
-29–-35°F (-34–-37°C).
Check coolant concentration using a
refractometer. We do not recommend the
use of hydrometers or coolant test strips
for measuring coolant concentration.
Adding Coolant
It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification in order to avoid plugging the
small passageways in the electric motor
cooling system. See
Cooling System
Capacity and Specification (page 344).
Do not mix different colors or types of
coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of coolants
or using an incorrect coolant may harm the
electric motor or cooling system
components and may cause damage that
the vehicle warranty may not cover.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the electric
motor cooling or heating systems.

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•
It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection.
• Coolant concentrations above 60%
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the coolant and may
cause damage to the electric motor.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40%
provides improved overheat protection.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the overheat and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause damage to the
electric motor.
Coolant Change
Change the coolant at specific mileage
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. Add prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification. See Cooling System
Capacity and Specification (page 344).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
If required, have an authorized dealer check
and change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 390).
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick. Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission
does not consume fluid. However, if you
notice a sign of leaking fluid, contact an
authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
12V BATTERY
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
If the 12 volt battery needs servicing, see
your authorized dealer.
CHARGING THE 12V BATTERY
Your vehicle has a high voltage to low
voltage energy transfer feature that keeps
the 12 volt battery charged by the high
voltage battery. If the 12 volt battery level
is low, the high voltage battery transfers
energy to the 12 volt battery when the
vehicle is off.
12V BATTERY –
TROUBLESHOOTING
12V BATTERY – WARNING LAMPS
If it illuminates when the green
ready to drive indicator is
activated, this indicates your
vehicle requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.
It is important that you have your vehicle
serviced at the proper times. These
intervals serve two purposes; first is to
maintain the reliability of your vehicle and
the second is to keep the cost of owning
your vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed and to
make sure that the materials used meet
the specifications identified in this owner's
manual.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may
result in vehicle damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Our Genuine Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock our parts and our
authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)
parts and labor limited warranty.
If you do not use our authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
maintain the proper performance of your
vehicle, make sure you have scheduled
maintenance performed at the designated
intervals.
It is important to rely upon your dealership
to properly diagnose and repair your
vehicle.
We have recommended maintenance
intervals for various parts and component
systems based upon engineering testing.
We rely upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of fluids to protect your vehicle at the
lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
our genuine manufactured or our
authorized re-manufactured replacement
parts engineered for your vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.

2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Scheduled Maintenance
Page 395 of 460

Make sure to change your vehicle
’s fluids
at the specified intervals or in conjunction
with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems
during scheduled maintenance. It is critical
that systems are flushed only with new
fluid that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using our
approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.Check Every Month
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level. Check Every Six Months
12V Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.
Safety belts and seat latches for wear and function.
Safety warning lamps (brake, ABS, airbag and safety belt) for operation.
Washer spray and wiper operation. Clean or replace blades as necessary.
Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.
