WARNING:

Always replace a fuse

with one that has the specified
amperage rating. Using a fuse with a
higher amperage rating can cause severe
wire damage and could start a fire.

E217331

If electrical components in the vehicle are
not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown
fuses are identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses
before replacing any electrical

vehicle damage and personal burn
injuries, do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove
it while the engine is running.

324

Maintenance

When changing the engine air filter, do not
allow debris or foreign material to enter
the air induction system. Engine
components are susceptible to damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Change the air filter element at the correct
interval. See

Scheduled Maintenance

(page 476).

Incorrect component use can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. See

Motorcraft Parts

(page

383).

To replace the air filter element do the
following:

E294782

Remove the clips that secure the air
filter housing cover.

2. Using a screwdriver, loosen the clamp

on air filter housing cover.

3. Gently pull the boot back away from

the air filter housing cover.

4. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover

from the air filter housing assembly.

5. Remove the air filter element from the

air filter housing.

6. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter

housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.

Install a new air filter element. Be
careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine if it is not properly
seated.

8. Install the air filter housing cover.

9. Engage the clips to secure the air filter

housing cover to the air filter housing.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNING:

Do not remove the

coolant reservoir cap when the engine 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:

To reduce the risk of

personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly.

WARNING:

Do not add coolant

further than the

MAX

mark.

When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the coolant at
the intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See

Scheduled

Maintenance

(page 476).

Note:

Make sure that the coolant level is

between the

MIN

and the

MAX

marks on

the coolant reservoir.

327

Maintenance

Note:

Coolant expands when it is hot. The

level may extend beyond the

MAX

mark.

Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.

Adding Coolant

WARNING:

Do not add engine

coolant when the engine is on or the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not remove the

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.

Note:

Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling

system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.

Note:

Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable.

It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification in order to avoid plugging the
small passageways in the engine cooling
system. See

Capacities and

Specifications

(page 379). Do not mix

different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine
or cooling system components and may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Note:

If prediluted coolant is not available,

use the approved concentrated coolant
diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. See

Capacities and Specifications

(page 379).

Using water that has not been deionised
may contribute to deposit formation,
corrosion and plugging of the small cooling
system passageways.

Note:

Coolants marketed for all makes and

models may not be approved to our
specifications and may cause damage to
the cooling system. Resulting component
damage may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty.

If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.

To top up the coolant level do the
following:

Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
escapes as you unscrew the cap.

2. Add prediluted coolant approved to

the correct specification. See

Capacities and Specifications

(page

379).

3. Add enough prediluted coolant to

reach the correct level.

4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn

the cap clockwise until it contacts the
hard stop.
