Vehicle Damage Warnings

WARNING:
Cooling Fan Operation Hazard
To avoid the possibility of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, do not operate the engine with the hood open until the fan has first been examined for possible cracks and separation.

Unexpected Cooling Fan Operation
The electric cooling fan will operate whenever the key is ON and the coolant is hot (above 97°c [207 °F]]), even though the engine may not be RUNNING. Avoid placing hands, clothing, tools, or other objects in the fan blades at any time. The fan blade will also operate if the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is disconnected
.

CAUTION:
Corrosion Damage

All vehicles use an aluminum radiator and aluminum engine components and require a corrosion-inhibiting coolant formula to avoid corrosion damage.

Coolant Application
If Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid is not available, use only a permanent antifreeze meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A, diluted with tap water. The system must be maintained with a 50/50 mixture of Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid E2FZ-19549-AA or -B (in Canada CXC-8-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A and water to prevent corrosion damage. Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze. Use of the wrong coolant may cause radiator and/or engine damage and may void any applicable engine warranty.
