2014 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC coolant

Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will escape as you unscrew the
cap.
Add prediluted coolant meeting the Ford specification. See the technical
specifications chart in theCapacities and Specificationschapter for
more information.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle.
If necessary, add enough prediluted coolant to bring the coolant level to
the proper level.
Recycled Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend the use of recycled coolant
since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
Used 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:
Note:It may be necessary to have an authorized Ford dealer increase
the coolant concentration above 50%.
Note:A coolant concentration of 60% will provide improved freeze point
protection. Increased coolant concentrations above 60% will decrease the
overheat protection characteristics of the coolant and may cause damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
Note:It may be necessary to have an authorized Ford dealer decrease
the coolant concentration to 40%.
Note:A coolant concentration of 40% will provide improved overheat
protection. Decreased coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease
the corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the coolant and may
cause damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted coolant meeting the Ford specification for optimum cooling
system protection.

exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and underside of front fenders.
See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•Periodically wash vehicles stored in exposed locations.
•Touch-up raw or primed metal to prevent rust.
•Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax
to prevent discoloration. Rewax as necessary when the vehicle is
washed. See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid hinges, and latches with a light
grade oil. See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
•Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.
Cooling system
•Protect against freezing temperatures.
•When removing vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm there are no cooling system leaks, and fluid is at the
recommended level.
Brakes
•Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully released.
Tires
•Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
•Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and pins under vehicle are
covered with grease to prevent rust.
•Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 m) every 15 days to lubricate
working parts and prevent corrosion.

Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed
every month or at six-month intervals.
Check every month
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure.
