WRECKER TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact your roadside assistance
center or a professional towing service.
It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and
dollies or with flatbed equipment. When towing with a flatbed, 4x4
blocks may help prevent damage when loading or unloading your vehicle.
Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a
slingbelt towing procedure.
Note:If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.
Roadside Emergencies

Adding Engine Coolant
WARNING:Do not add coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you
badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
WARNING:Do not put coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.
The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
WARNING:Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling system sealants, or additives
as they can cause damage to the engine cooling or heating systems. This
damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the engine coolant may change
color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is
clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine
coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be
drained, the system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.
•
DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make
sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of engine coolants may harm
your engine’s cooling system. The use of an improper coolant may harm
engine and cooling system components and may void the warranty.
A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case of
emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned with Motorcraft
Premium Cooling System Flush, and refilled with prediluted coolant as
soon as possible. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause engine
damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
•Note:Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine or any engine coolants
mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and
other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Focus ST carries the same warranty as other Ford Focus models.
This information is covered in its entirety in the warranty information.
Warranty service for the Focus ST or any ST vehicle can be obtained at
any Ford dealer nationwide.
Ford Global Performance does not recommend modifying or racing ST,
SVT or RS vehicles, as they are designed and built to be driven as
delivered from the factory. The warranty information discusses vehicle
usage and the installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on
warranty coverage.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
actions are required:
•Perform multi-point inspection and the maintenance outlined in the
150,000 mile (240,000 kilometer) normal maintenance schedule of the
scheduled maintenance before and after track use. Refer to the vehicle
service manual for removal and installation procedures.
•Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These actions may not necessarily protect your vehicle from damage in
competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition conditions
even with this recommended action may render repairs non-reimbursable
under the warranty.
