Roadside Emergencies

Note:During normal vehicle operation, theengine coolant may change color fromorange to pink or light red. As long as theengine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,this color change does not indicate theengine coolant has degraded nor does itrequire the engine coolant to be drained,the system to be flushed, or the enginecoolant to be replaced.
When the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the engine coolantat the intervals listed in the scheduledmaintenance information. See ScheduledMaintenance (page 481).
Note:Make sure that the level is betweenthe MIN and MAX marks on the coolantreservoir.
Note:Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Note:If the level is at the MIN mark, belowthe MIN mark, or empty, add coolantimmediately. See Adding Engine Coolantin this chapter.
The coolant concentration should bemaintained within 48% to 50%, whichequates to a freeze point between -30°F(-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).
Note:For best results, coolant concentrationshould be tested with a refractometer suchas Robinair® Coolant and BatteryRefractometer 75240. We do notrecommend the use of hydrometers orcoolant test strips for measuring coolantconcentrations.
Adding Engine Coolant
•Do not mix different colors or types ofcoolant in your vehicle. Make sure thecorrect coolant is used. Mixing of enginecoolants may harm your engine’s coolingsystem. The use of an improper coolantmay harm engine and cooling systemcomponents and may void the warranty.Use prediluted engine coolant meetingthe Ford specification. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 344).
•In case of emergency, a large amount ofwater without engine coolant may beadded in order to reach a vehicle servicelocation. In this instance, the coolingsystem must be drained, chemicallycleaned with Motorcraft Premium CoolingSystem Flush, and refilled with enginecoolant as soon as possible. Water alone(without engine coolant) can causeengine damage from corrosion,overheating or freezing.

•Cover the battery, power distribution box,and air filter assembly to prevent waterdamage when cleaning the engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES

To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•Clean the windshield with a non-abrasiveglass cleaner. When cleaning the interiorof the windshield, avoid getting any glasscleaner on the instrument panel or doorpanels. Wipe any glass cleaner off thesesurfaces immediately.

•The vehicle must have battery power andbe located in the U.S., Canada or in aterritory in which 911 is the emergencynumber.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes will deploy an airbag oractivate the fuel pump shut-off (the triggersfor 911 Assist). If a connected cell phonesustains damage or loses its connection toSYNC during a crash, SYNC will search forand try to connect to a previously paired cellphone; SYNC will then attempt to call theemergency services.
Before making the call:
•SYNC provides a short window of time(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call. Ifyou fail to cancel the call, SYNC attemptsto dial 911.
•SYNC says the following, or a similarmessage: "SYNC will attempt to call 911,to cancel the call, press Cancel on yourscreen or press and hold the phonebutton on your steering wheel."
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNCmakes a successful call, a pre-recordedmessage plays for the 911 operator, and thenthe occupant(s) in your vehicle is able to talkwith the operator. Be prepared to provideyour name, phone number and locationimmediately, because not all 911 systems arecapable of receiving this informationelectronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If

•The vehicle's battery or the SYNC systemhas no power.
