ACCESSING THE FRONT TOWING
POINT WARNING:
Using recovery hooks is
dangerous and should only be done by a
person familiar with proper vehicle
recovery safety practices. Improper use of
recovery hooks may cause hook failure or
separation from the vehicle and could
result in serious injury or death. WARNING:
Slowly remove the slack
from the recovery strap prior to pulling.
Failure to do so can introduce significantly
higher loads which can cause the recovery
hooks to break off, or the recovery strap
to fail which can cause serious injury or
death. WARNING:
Never link two straps
together with a clevis pin. These heavy
metal objects could become projectiles if
the strap breaks and can cause serious
injury or death.

WARNING: Switch the ignition off
before removing the recovery hook. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury. WARNING:
The recovery hook can
become hot. Let the recovery hook cool
down before removing it. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has frame-mounted front
recovery hooks.
Note: Do not apply a load to the recovery
hooks that is greater than the gross vehicle
weight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
• Make sure all attaching points are secure
and capable of withstanding the applied
load.
• Do not use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
• Only use recovery straps that have a
minimum breaking strength two to three
times the gross vehicle weight of the
stuck vehicle. •
Make sure the recovery strap is in good
condition and free of visible cuts, tears
or damage.
• Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet, and
place it over the recovery strap to help
absorb the energy in the event the strap
breaks.
• Make sure the stuck vehicle is not loaded
heavier than its gross vehicle weight
rating specified on the certification label.
• Align the tow vehicle and stuck vehicle
in a straight line, within 10 degrees.
• Keep bystanders to the sides of the
vehicle, at a distance of at least twice the
length of the recovery strap. This helps
avoid injury from the hazard of a recovery
hook or strap breaking, or a vehicle
lurching into their path. TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

See Engine Oil Capacity
and Specification (page 471).
CHECKING THE COOLANT
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the coolant at the
intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance
information.
See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 528). Note:
Make sure that the coolant level is
between the minimum and maximum marks
on the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
Maintain coolant concentration within 48%
to 50%, which equates to a freeze point
between
-29°F (-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C).
Coolant concentration should be checked
using a refractometer. We do not recommend
the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips
for measuring coolant concentration.
Adding Coolant WARNING:
Keep your hands and
clothing clear of the cooling fan.

2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Maintenance

WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury. WARNING:
Do not add engine
coolant when the engine is on or the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark. WARNING: Do not put coolant in the
windshield washer reservoir. If sprayed on
the windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield. WARNING:
Do not allow the fluid to
touch your skin or eyes. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your physician.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable.
It is very important to use prediluted coolant
approved to the correct specification in order
to avoid plugging the small passageways in
the engine cooling system.
See Capacities
and Specifications (page 469). Do not mix
different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine or
cooling system components and could void
the vehicle Warranty. Note:
If prediluted coolant is not available,
use the approved concentrated coolant
diluting it to 50/50 with deionized or distilled
water.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 469). Using water that has not been
deionized may contribute to deposit
formation, corrosion and plugging of the
small cooling system passageways.
To top up the coolant level do the following:
1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
2. Add enough prediluted coolant to reach
the correct level.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
recycled coolant.
3. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it contacts the
hard stop.
4. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive
your vehicle. If necessary, repeat step 2.
