Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current
fuses.
Always replace the cover to the Power Distribution Box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, refer to the
Batterysection of theMaintenance and carechapter.
The high-current fuses and relays are coded as follows.

Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet Ford specifications. Refer
toCapacities and specifications.
1. Set the parking brake, shift into 1
(First) and turn the engine off.
2. Open the hood.
3. Clean the reservoir cap before
removal to prevent dirt and water
from entering the reservoir.
4. Remove cap and rubber
diaphragm from reservoir.
5. Add fluid until the level reaches
the step in the reservoir.
6. Reinstall rubber diaphragm and cap onto reservoir.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Checking and adding washer fluid
Inspect the solution level in the
washer reservoir when insufficient
solution is sprayed.
Use 3.8L (4.0 quarts) of
Ultra—Clear Windshield Washer
Concentrate or a washer fluid that
meets the Ford specification listed.
Refer toLubricant specifications
in theCapacities and
specificationschapter.
State or local regulations on volatile
organic compounds may restrict the use of methanol, a common
windshield washer antifreeze additive. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used only if they provide cold
weather protection without damaging the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper
blades or washer system.
Do not put engine coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Engine coolant or antifreeze can severely reduce
visibility if sprayed on the windshield.
Maintenance and care
133

ENGINE COOLANT
Checking coolant level
Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide for the appropriate intervals
for checking the engine coolant
level. Check the engine coolant level
in the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cold.
If the coolant level has not been
checked at the recommended
interval, the coolant reservoir may
become empty. If this occurs, a
STOP ENGINE warning lamp will
illuminate (if equipped).
If necessary, add a mixture of 50% engine coolant concentrate and 50%
water (50/50 ratio) to the coolant reservoir to bring the engine coolant
level to within the cold fill range on the reservoir. For more information
on engine coolant, refer toAdding and replacing engine coolantin
this chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot or personal injury may occur.
If you must remove the coolant reservoir cap, follow these steps to avoid
personal injury:
1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off and let the engine
cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly
turn the cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. Once you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn the cap counterclockwise and remove it.
Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine coolant,
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified function and
vehicle location.
