Checking and adding washer
fluid for the liftgate
The opening for this reservoir is
located on the left side of the
vehicle above the tail lamp. Be
sure to close the cover after filling
and before closing the liftgate. The
reservoir must be filled slowly to
allow trapped air to escape. Use of
a funnel is recommended for easier
filling.
CHECKING AND ADDING
ENGINE COOLANT
Check the engine coolant level in
the reservoir at least once a
month.
If the engine coolant has not been
checked for a long period of time,
the engine coolant reservoir may
eventually empty. If this occurs,
add engine coolant to the coolant
reservoir. For more information on
engine coolant maintenance, refer
to Adding engine coolant to the
reservoir in this chapter.
Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable; do not
use engine coolant, antifreeze, or
windshield washer fluid outside
of their specified function and
vehicle location.
When adding engine coolant
Ford recommends Ford Premium
Cooling System fluid, which is an
optimized formula that will protect
all metals and rubber elastomers
used in Ford engines for four years
