❒ during normal travel: stop the
car, stop the engine and check that
the water level in the vessel is not
under the MIN line. In this case, wait
for a few minutes for the engine to

open the cap, top-up with coolant
and check that the level is between
the MIN and MAX references on
the vessel itself. Also check for
leakages. Should the warning light
turn on again at the next start-up,
contact your Ford Dealership.
