could result in personal injury.  
WARNING: Do not add coolant  
when the vehicle is on or the cooling  
system is hot. Failure to follow this  
instruction could result in personal injury.  
Note: If prediluted coolant is not available,  
use the approved concentrated coolant  
diluting it to 50/50 with deionized or  
distilled water. See Capacities and  
Specifications (page 578). Using water that  
has not been deionized may contribute to  
deposit formation, corrosion and plugging  
of the small cooling system passageways.  
WARNING: Do not add coolant  
further than the MAX mark.  
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.  
To top up the coolant level do the  
following:  
1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure  
escapes as you unscrew the cap.

Note: We do not recommend the use of  
recycled coolant.  
3. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn  
the cap clockwise until it contacts the

4. Check the coolant level in the coolant  
reservoir the next few times you drive  
your vehicle. If necessary, repeat step  
2.  
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of  
engine coolant per month, have your  
vehicle checked as soon as possible.  
Operating an engine with a low level of  
coolant can result in engine overheating  
and possible engine damage.  
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.  
In case of emergency, you can add a large  
amount of water without engine coolant  
in order to reach a vehicle service location.

temperature, vehicle load and terrain.  
Severe Climates  
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works  
If you drive in extremely cold climates, you  
may need to increase the coolant  
concentration above 50%.  
Note: A coolant concentration of 60%  
provides improved freeze point protection.  
Coolant concentrations above 60%  
decrease the overheat protection  
characteristics of the coolant and could  
cause engine damage.  
If you drive in extremely hot climates, you  
may need to decrease the coolant  
concentration to 40%.  
Note: A coolant concentration of 40%  
provides improved overheat protection.  
Coolant concentrations below 40%  
decrease the overheat and corrosion  
protection characteristics of the coolant and  
could cause engine damage.  
WARNING: If you continue to drive  
your vehicle when the engine is  
overheating, the engine could stop  
without warning. Failure to follow this  
instruction could result in the loss of  
control of your vehicle.  
If the engine begins to overheat,  
the coolant temperature gauge  
moves toward the red zone:  
A warning lamp illuminates and  
a message may appear in the  
information display.  
If the engine reaches a preset  
over-temperature condition, the engine  
automatically switches to alternating  
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder  
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR  
FILTER  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of  
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.  
The air conditioning may automatically  
turn on and off during severe operating  
conditions to protect the engine from  
overheating. When the coolant  
temperature decreases to the normal  
operating temperature, the air conditioning  
turns on.  
If the coolant temperature gauge moves  
fully into the red zone, or if the coolant  
temperature warning or service engine  
soon messages appear in your information  
display, do the following:  
1. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe  
to do so. Fully apply the parking brake,  
shift into park (P) or neutral (N).  
2. Leave the engine running until the  
coolant temperature gauge needle  
returns to the normal position. If the  
temperature does not drop after  
several minutes, follow the remaining  
steps.  
Change the air filter element at the proper  
intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance  
(page 667).  
When changing the air filter element, use  
only the air filter element listed. See  
Capacities and Specifications (page  
578).  
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter  
element could result in severe engine  
damage that the vehicle Warranty may not  
cover.  
Note: When servicing the air cleaner, do not  
allow foreign material to enter the air  
induction system. The engine is susceptible  
to damage from even small particles.  
3. Switch the engine off and wait for it to  
cool. Check the coolant level.  
4. If the coolant level is at or below the  
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant  
immediately.  
5. If the coolant level is normal, restart  
the engine and continue.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY  
WARNING: This vehicle may have  
more than one battery. Removing the  
battery cables from only one battery  
does not disconnect your vehicle  
electrical system. Make sure you  
disconnect the battery cables from all  
batteries when disconnecting power.  
Failure to do so may cause serious  
personal injury or property damage.  
WARNING: Batteries normally  
produce explosive gases which can  
cause personal injury. Therefore, do not  
allow flames, sparks or lighted  
substances to come near the battery.  
When working near the battery, always  
shield your face and protect your eyes.  
Always provide correct ventilation.  
WARNING: For vehicles with  
Auto-Start-Stop the battery requirement  
is different. You must replace the battery  
with one of exactly the same  
specification.  
WARNING: When lifting a  
plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure  
on the end walls could cause acid to flow  
through the vent caps, resulting in  
personal injury and damage to the  
vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a  
battery carrier or with your hands on  
opposite corners.  
The battery is in the engine compartment.  
See Under Hood Overview (page 499).  
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free  
battery. It does not require additional  
water during service.  
If the vehicle battery has a cover and vent  
hose, make sure you correctly install it after  
cleaning or replacing the battery.  
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the  
top of the battery clean and dry and the  
battery cables tightly fastened to the  
battery terminals. If any corrosion is  
present on the battery or terminals, remove  
the cables from the terminals and clean  
with a wire brush. You can neutralize the  
acid with a solution of baking soda and  
water.  
We recommend that you disconnect the  
negative battery cable terminal from the  
battery if you plan to store your vehicle for  
an extended period.  
WARNING: Keep batteries out of  
reach of children. Batteries contain  
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,  
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when  
working near the battery to protect  
against possible splashing of acid  
solution. In case of acid contact with skin  
or eyes, flush immediately with water for  
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt  
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,  
call a physician immediately.  
WARNING: Battery posts,  
terminals and related accessories  
contain lead and lead compounds,  
chemicals known to the State of  
California to cause cancer and  
reproductive harm. Wash your hands  
after handling.  
Note: If you only disconnect the negative  
battery cable terminal, make sure it is  
isolated or placed away from the battery  
terminal to avoid unintended connection or  
arcing.

REPAIRING MINOR PAINT  
DAMAGE  
We recommend that you contact an  
authorized dealer to identify your vehicle  
color code. Authorized dealers have  
touch-up paint to match your vehicle's  
color.  
Before repairing minor paint damage, use  
a cleaner to remove particles such as bird  
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar  
spots, road salt and industrial fallout.  
Read the instructions before using cleaning  
products.  
WAXING YOUR VEHICLE  
Wax the high-gloss painted surface of your  
prewashed vehicle once or twice a year.  
We recommend that you only use an  
approved quality wax that does not  
contain abrasives. Follow the  
manufacturer's instructions to apply and  
remove the wax. For additional information  
and assistance, we recommend that you  
contact an authorized dealer.  
When washing and waxing, park your  
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct  
sunlight.  
Note: Avoid waxing unpainted or low-gloss  
black colored parts, they discolor over time.

PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE  
FOR STORAGE  
If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30  
days or more, the following maintenance  
recommendations ensures your vehicle  
stays in good operating condition.  
Under various conditions, long-term  
storage may lead to degraded engine  
performance or failure unless you use  
specific precautions to preserve your  
vehicle.  
•
Wash your vehicle thoroughly to  
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from  
exterior surfaces, rear wheel housings  
and the underside of front fenders.  
•
•
•
Periodically wash your vehicle if it is  
stored in exposed locations.  
Touch-up exposed or primed metal to  
prevent rust.  
Cover chrome and stainless steel parts  
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent  
discoloration. Rewax as necessary  
when you wash your vehicle.  
General  
•
Lubricate all hood, door and luggage  
compartment hinges and latches with  
a light grade oil.  
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated  
place.  
•
If vehicles are stored outside, they  
require regular maintenance to protect  
against rust and weather damage.  
•
•
Cover interior trim to prevent fading.  
Keep all rubber parts free from oil and  
solvents.  
•
•
•
Make sure all linkages, cables, levers  
and pins under your vehicle are covered  
with grease to prevent rust.  
Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)  
every 15 days to lubricate working parts  
and prevent corrosion.  
Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel  
until the first automatic shutoff of the  
fuel pump nozzle.  
12 Volt Battery  
•
When storing your vehicle for greater  
than 30 days the state of charge  
should be approximately 50%.  
Additionally, we recommend  
disconnecting the 12v battery which  
will reduce system loads on the  
battery.  
•
Check and recharge as necessary. Keep  
Engine  
connections clean.  
•
Change the engine oil and filter prior to

storage because used engine oil  
contains contaminants which may  
cause engine damage.  
•
Start the engine every 15 days for a  
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast  
idle with the climate controls set to  
defrost until the engine reaches normal  
operating temperature.  
With your foot on the brake, shift  
through all the gears while the engine  
is running.  
Brakes  
Make sure the brakes and parking brake  
release fully.  
Note: If you intend on parking your vehicle  
for an extended period after cleaning the  
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your  
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so to  
reduce the risk of increased corrosion of the  
brake discs, brake pads and linings.

REMOVING YOUR VEHICLE  
FROM STORAGE  
When your vehicle is ready to come out of  
storage, do the following:  
•
•
We recommend that you change the  
engine oil before you use your vehicle  
again.  
Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt  
or grease film build-up on window  
surfaces.  
•
•
Check windshield wipers for any  
deterioration.  
Check the underhood for any foreign  
materials such as mice or squirrel  
nests.  
•
•
•
Check the exhaust for any foreign  
materials.  
Check tire pressures and set tire  
inflation per the Tire Label.  
Check brake pedal operation. Corroded  
brake rotors could cause brake noise.  
Drive your vehicle and gently apply and  
release the brakes repeatedly over a  
10-minute drive to reduce the corrosion  
from the brakes.  
•
•
Check fluid levels (including coolant,  
oil and gas) to make sure there are no  
leaks, and fluids are at recommended  
levels.  
If you remove the battery, clean the  
battery cable ends and check for  
damage.

the performance you expect in a Ford  
Performance vehicle. These tires are  
optimized for both on and off-road  
performance, and their ride, noise and wear  
characteristics are different from other  
tires. Also, because of their aggressive  
tread profile, it is important that you  
maintain your tires properly.  
Note: Converting the bead-lock compatible  
wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use  
only. We do not approve of the use of true  
bead-locks for on-road driving.  
If your vehicles equipped with the optional  
bead lock compatible wheel, you can  
convert this wheel to use a true bead-lock  
ring, which allows operation at low tire  
pressures when off-road to minimize the  
risk of de-beading the tire. See your local

CHECKING THE TIRE  
PRESSURES  
WARNING: Do not use the  
tire pressure displayed in the  
information display as a tire  
pressure gauge. Failure to follow  
this instruction could result in  
personal injury or death.  
Safe operation of your vehicle  
requires that your tires are  
properly inflated. Every day before  
you drive, check your tires.  
At least once a month and before  
long trips, inspect each tire and  
check the tire pressure with a tire  
gauge. Inflate all tires to the  
recommended inflation pressure.  
See Inflating the Tires (page  
550).  
Use the recommended cold  
inflation pressure for optimum tire  
performance and wear.  
Under-inflation or over-inflation  
may cause uneven treadwear  
patterns.  
Inflate your tires to the  
recommended inflation pressure  
even if it is less than the maximum  
inflation pressure information  
found on the tire. You can find the  
tire label with the recommended  
tire inflation pressure next to the  
tire size on the B-Pillar or the edge  
of the driver door.  
INFLATING THE TIRES  
WARNING:Under-inflation  
is the most common cause of  
tire failures and may result in  
severe tire cracking, tread  
separation or blowout, with  
unexpected loss of vehicle  
control and increased risk of  
injury. Under-inflation increases  
sidewall flexing and rolling  
resistance, resulting in heat  
buildup and internal damage to  
the tire. It also may result in  
unnecessary tire stress, irregular  
wear, loss of vehicle control and  
accidents. A tire can lose up to  
half of its air pressure and not  
appear to be flat!  
The recommended tire inflation  
pressure is also found on the  
Safety Compliance Certification  
Label, affixed to either the door  
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the  
door edge that meets the  
door-latch on the B-pillar, or on

Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
When the malfunction indicator is  
TIREPRESSUREMONITORING  
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS  
illuminated, the system may not be able  
to detect or signal low tire pressure as  
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur  
for a variety of reasons, including the  
installation of replacement or alternate  
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent  
the TPMS from functioning properly.  
Always check the TPMS malfunction  
telltale after replacing one or more tires or  
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the  
replacement or alternate tires and wheels  
allow the TPMS to continue to function  
properly.  
WARNING: The tire pressure  
monitoring system is not a substitute for  
manually checking tire pressures. You  
should periodically check tire pressures  
using a pressure gauge. Failure to  
correctly maintain tire pressures could  
increase the risk of tire failure, loss of  
control, vehicle rollover and personal  
injury.  
WARNING: Do not use the tire  
pressure displayed in the information  
display as a tire pressure gauge. Failure  
to follow this instruction could result in  
personal injury or death.  
WARNING: Changes or  
modifications not expressively approved  
by the party responsible for compliance  
could void the user's authority to operate  
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the

recommended pressure it could take up to  
two minutes of driving over 20 mph  
(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turn  
off.
