    ENGINE COOLANT CHECK WARNINGS
    Do not add engine coolant when the
    engine is hot. Steam and scalding
    liquids released from a hot cooling
    system can burn you badly. Also, spilling
    coolant on hot engine parts can burn you. Do not put engine coolant in the
    windshield washer fluid container. If
    sprayed on the windshield, engine
    coolant could make it difficult to see
    through the windshield. 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. Do not add coolant further than the
    MAX mark.
    Checking the Engine Coolant
    When the engine is cold, check the
    concentration and level of the engine
    coolant at the intervals listed in the
    scheduled maintenance information.  See
    Scheduled Maintenance
     (page 464).
    252
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							Note:
    Make sure that the coolant level is
    between the MIN and MAX marks on the
    coolant reservoir.
    Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
    level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
    Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
    the MIN mark, or empty, add coolant
    immediately. See Adding Engine Coolant
    in this chapter.
    Maintain coolant concentration within
    48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
    point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
    (-37°C).
    Note: For best results, coolant
    concentration should be tested with a
    refractometer such as Robinair® Coolant
    and Battery Refractometer 75240. We do
    not recommend the use of hydrometers or
    coolant test strips for measuring coolant
    concentrations.
    Note: Automotive fluids are not
    interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant,
    antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside
    of its specified function and vehicle location.
    Adding Engine Coolant
    Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
    system sealants or additives as they can
    cause damage to the engine cooling or
    heating systems. Your warranty may not
    cover these damages.
    Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
    engine coolant may change color from
    orange to pink or light red. As long as the
    engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,
    any color change does not indicate the
    engine coolant has degraded, nor does it
    require the engine coolant to be drained, the
    system to be flushed, or the engine coolant
    to be replaced. Do not mix different colors or types of
    coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of engine
    coolants may harm your engine
    ’s cooling
    system. The use of an improper coolant
    may harm engine and cooling system
    components and may void the warranty.
    Use prediluted engine coolant meeting the
    Ford specification.  See Capacities and
    Specifications (page 313).
    In case of emergency, you can add a large
    amount of water without engine coolant
    in order to reach a vehicle service location.
    In this instance, qualified personnel:
    1. Must drain the cooling system.
    2. Chemically clean the coolant system with Motorcraft Premium Cooling
    System Flush.
    3. Refill with engine coolant as soon as possible.
    Water alone, without engine coolant, can
    cause engine damage from corrosion,
    overheating or freezing.
    Do not use the following as a coolant
    substitute:
    • Alcohol.
    • Methanol.
    • Brine.
    • Any engine coolant mixed with alcohol
    or methanol antifreeze or coolant.
    Alcohol and other liquids can cause engine
    damage from overheating or freezing.
    Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to
    the coolant. These can be harmful and
    compromise the corrosion protection of
    the engine coolant.
    When adding coolant:
    1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
    2. Add prediluted engine coolant meeting
    the Ford specification.  See 
    Capacities
    and Specifications (page 313).
    253
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							3. Check the coolant level in the coolant
    reservoir the next few times you drive
    your vehicle.
    4. If necessary, add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant
    level to the proper level.
    Recycled Engine Coolant
    Ford Motor Company does not recommend
    the use of recycled engine coolant since a
    Ford-approved recycling process is not yet
    available.
    Used engine coolant should be disposed
    of in an appropriate manner. Follow your
    community ’s regulations and standards
    for recycling and disposing of automotive
    fluids.
    Severe Climates
    If you drive in extremely cold climates:
    • It may be necessary to have an
    authorized dealer increase the coolant
    concentration above 50%.
    • A coolant concentration of 60%
    provides improved freeze point
    protection. Engine coolant
    concentrations above 60% decrease
    the overheat protection characteristics
    of the engine coolant and may cause
    engine damage.
    If you drive in extremely hot climates:
    • It may be necessary to have an
    authorized dealer decrease the coolant
    concentration to 40%.
    • A coolant concentration of 40%
    provides improved overheat protection.
    Engine coolant concentrations below
    40% decrease the freeze and corrosion
    protection characteristics of the engine
    coolant and may cause engine
    damage. Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
    climates should use prediluted engine
    coolant for optimum cooling system and
    engine protection.
    What You Should Know About Fail-
    Safe Cooling
    If the engine coolant supply is depleted,
    this feature allows the vehicle to be driven
    temporarily before incremental component
    damage is incurred. The fail-safe distance
    depends on outside temperatures, vehicle
    load and terrain.
    How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
    If the engine begins to overheat, the engine
    coolant temperature gauge moves to the
    red (hot) area and:
    A high engine temperature
    message appears in the
    information display.
    The service engine soon
    indicator appears 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.
    If this occurs, your vehicle still operates.
    However:
    • The engine power becomes limited.
    • The air conditioning system becomes
    disabled.
    Continued operation increases the engine
    temperature and the engine completely
    shuts down, causing steering and braking
    effort to increase.
    Once the engine temperature cools, the
    engine can be re-started. Take your vehicle
    to an authorized dealer as soon as possible
    to minimize engine damage.

    							When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
    WARNINGS
    Fail-safe mode is for use during
    emergencies only. Operate your
    vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long
    as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest
    in a safe location and seek immediate
    repairs. When in fail-safe mode, your
    vehicle will have limited power, will not be
    able to maintain high-speed operation, and
    may completely shut down without
    warning, potentially losing engine power,
    power steering assist, and power brake
    assist, which may increase the possibility
    of a crash resulting in serious injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir
    cap while the engine is running or hot.
    Your vehicle has limited engine power
    when in the fail-safe mode. Drive your
    vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not
    maintain high-speed operation and the
    engine operates poorly.
    Remember that the engine is capable of
    automatically shutting down to prevent
    engine damage. In this situation:
    1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
    possible and switch off the engine.
    2. Tow your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
    3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
    4. Check the coolant level and add if low.
    5. Re-start the engine and drive your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
    Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
    increases the chance of engine damage. See
    an authorized dealer as soon as possible. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
    FLUID CHECK
    The automatic transmission does not have
    a transmission fluid dipstick.
    Have an authorized dealer check and
    change the transmission fluid at the
    correct service interval.  See Scheduled
    Maintenance (page 464).  Your
    transmission does not consume fluid.
    However, if the transmission slips, shifts
    slowly or 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.
    BRAKE FLUID CHECK
    Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
    lines are within the normal operating range;
    there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
    levels are outside of the normal operating
    range, the performance of the system
    could be compromised; seek service from
    your authorized dealer immediately.
    POWER STEERING FLUID
    CHECK
    Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
    power steering (EPS) system. There is no
    fluid reservoir to check or fill.
    255
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							WASHER FLUID CHECK
    WARNING
    If you operate your vehicle in
    temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use
    washer fluid with antifreeze
    protection. Failure to use washer fluid with
    antifreeze protection in cold weather could
    result in impaired windshield vision and
    increase the risk of injury or accident. Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is
    low. Only use a washer fluid that meets
    Ford specifications.  See Capacities and
    Specifications (page 313).
    State or local regulations on volatile
    organic compounds may restrict the use
    of methanol, a common windshield washer
    antifreeze additive. Washer fluids
    containing non-methanol antifreeze
    agents should be used only if they provide
    cold weather protection without damaging
    the vehicle ’s paint finish, wiper blades or
    washer system.
    FUEL FILTER
    Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime
    fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel
    tank. Regular maintenance or replacement
    is not needed.
    CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS
    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. WARNINGS
    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. 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. Battery posts, terminals and related
    accessories contain lead and lead
    compounds. Wash hands after
    handling. Your vehicle has a Motorcraft®
    maintenance-free battery which normally
    does not require additional water during
    its life of service.
    Note:
    If your vehicle's battery has a cover
    or shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the
    battery has been cleaned or replaced.
    Note: See an authorized dealer for low
    voltage battery access, testing, or
    replacement.
    When a low voltage battery replacement
    is necessary, see an authorized dealer to
    replace the low voltage battery with a Ford
    recommended replacement low voltage
    battery that matches the electrical
    requirements of the vehicle.
    256
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							To ensure proper operation of the battery
    management system (BMS), do not allow
    a technician to connect any electrical
    device ground connection directly to the
    low voltage battery negative post. A
    connection at the low voltage battery
    negative post can cause inaccurate
    measurements of the battery condition
    and potential incorrect system operation.
    Note:
    If a person adds electrical or
    electronic accessories or components to the
    vehicle, the accessories or components may
    adversely affect the low voltage battery
    performance and durability and may also
    affect the performance of other electrical
    systems in the vehicle.
    For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
    top of the battery clean and dry. Also,
    make certain the battery cables are always
    tightly fastened to the battery terminals.
    If you see any corrosion 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.
    When a battery replacement is required,
    the battery should only be replaced with
    a Ford recommended replacement battery
    that matches the electrical requirements
    of the vehicle.
    Because your vehicle ’s engine is
    electronically-controlled by a computer,
    some engine control settings are
    maintained by power from the low voltage
    battery. Some engine computer settings,
    like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy,
    optimize the driveability and performance
    of the engine. Some other computer
    settings, like the clock and radio station
    presets, are also maintained in memory by
    power from the low voltage battery. When
    a technician disconnects and connects the
    low voltage battery, these settings are
    erased. Complete the following procedure
    in order to restore the settings: 1. With the vehicle at a complete stop,
    set the parking brake.
    2. Shift into park (P).
    3. Switch off all accessories.
    4. Fully press the brake pedal and start the vehicle.
    5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the
    engine is warming up, complete the
    following: Reset the clock.  See Audio
    System (page 327).  Reset the power
    windows bounce-back feature.  See
    Windows and Mirrors
     (page 84).
    Reset the radio station presets.  See
    Audio System
     (page 327).
    6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
    minute. If the engine turns off, press
    the accelerator pedal to start the
    engine.
    7. While the engine is running, press the brake pedal and shift into neutral (N).
    8. Allow the engine to run for at least one
    minute by pressing on the accelerator
    pedal.
    9. Drive the vehicle at least 12 mi (20 km)
    to completely relearn the idle and fuel
    trim strategy.
    Note: If you do not allow the engine to
    relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
    idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
    affected until the engine computer
    eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel
    trim strategy.
    Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
    in an environmentally friendly way.  Seek
    advice from your local authority about
    recycling old batteries.
