coolant reservoir the next few times you drive the vehicle. If necessary,
add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the engine coolant level to
the proper level.
Adding Inverter System Controller Coolant

2. Use a funnel to add prediluted coolant to the inverter system
controller coolant reservoir. Make sure that the level is between the

Recycled Engine Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend the use of recycled engine
coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate
manner. Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling
and disposing of automotive fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford authorized dealer increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60% will provide improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant concentrations above 60% will decrease
the overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may
cause engine damage.
