Refer to the chart on the

coolant container to ensure the

coolant concentration in your

vehicle will provide adequate

protection at the temperatures

in which you drive.
Vehicles driven yearĆround in

nonĆextreme climates should use a

50/50 mixture of engine coolant and

distilled water for optimum cooling

system and engine protection.

What you should know about
fail-safe cooling
(2.0 L Zetec engines only)

If the engine coolant supply is

depleted, this feature allows the

vehicle to be driven temporarily

before incremental component

damage is incurred. The "failĆsafe"

distance depends on ambient

temperatures, vehicle load and

terrain.
