WARNING: In an emergency, add water to the cooling system to

reach an authorized dealer. Have the system checked by a

properly trained technician as soon as possible.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the

Electric Powertrain Assembly (EPA) is cool before unscrewing the

coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure; steam

and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.

WARNING: Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.

Note: Coolant replacement can only be completed by an authorized

dealer. If not performed properly, damage could occur to the cooling

system components and may void the warranty.

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets or cooling system sealants/additives

as they can cause damage to the cooling and/or heating systems. This

damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.

Note: During normal vehicle operation, the coolant may change color

from orange to pink or light red. As long as the coolant is clear and

uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the coolant has

degraded nor does it require the coolant to be drained, the system to be

flushed, or the coolant to be replaced.

• DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make

sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of coolants may harm your

cooling system. The use of an improper coolant may harm the Electric

Powertrain Assembly (EPA) and cooling system components and may

void the warranty.

• A large amount of water without coolant may be added, in case of

emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned with Motorcraft威

Premium Cooling System Flush, and refilled with prediluted coolant as

soon as possible. Water alone (without coolant) can cause damage

from corrosion, overheating, freezing or plugging.

• Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any coolants mixed with

alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other liquids can

cause 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 coolant.
