Do not put engine coolant in the windshield
washer fluid container. If sprayed on the
windshield, engine coolant could make it difficult

The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
either green-colored Motorcraft Premium Engine
Coolant meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44–A
or yellow-colored Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine
Coolant meeting Ford Specification

coolant type (color), check your coolant reservoir.

(Canada) or Motorcraft Premium Gold
Engine Coolant (yellow-colored), VC-7–A
