Note:
Coolant expands when it is
hot. The level may therefore extend
beyond the MAX mark.
Topping up the coolant
WARNING
Do not remove the coolant
reservoir cap when the engine
is hot. Wait for the engine to cool
down.
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any
pressure will escape slowly as you
unscrew the cap.
WARNINGS
Only add coolant when the
engine is cold. If the engine is
hot, wait 10 minutes for the engine to
cool down.
Do not allow coolant to touch
your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your doctor.
CAUTION
Do not spill coolant on any part
of the engine.
Only add coolant that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
specifications (page 122).
BRAKE AND CLUTCH
FLUID CHECK
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to touch
your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your doctor.
The brake and clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
Make sure that the brake fluid level
is between the MIN and the MAX
marks.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Switch off the engine. With the
steering system at normal operating
temperature, the fluid level should
come up to the MAX mark.
If it drops below the MIN mark, top
up with the specified fluid.
