ENGINE OIL CHECK CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine. Note:
The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
5000 kilometres (3000 miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note:
Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note: Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
Note: Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the 
MAX mark. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the 
MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the 
MAX
mark. Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification.  See 
Technical
Specifications (page 109).
Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel
a strong resistance.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the coolant level WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the 
MIN and the MAX marks.

							Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.
If the level is at the 
MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. Prolonged use of incorrect dilution of
the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or
freezing. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will
escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the 
MAX
mark. Top up with a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water using fluid that meets the Ford
specification.  See 
Technical
Specifications (page 109). POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION

the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as
possible. 108
