Lincoln Continental (2000) [170/232] Maintenance and care

The engine coolant must be maintained at the correct fluid level

and concentration to work properly. If the engine coolant fluid

level and concentration is not maintained correctly, damage to

the engine and cooling system may result.

When the engine is cold, check the

level of the engine coolant in the

reservoir.

• The engine coolant should be at the “cold fill level” as listed on the

engine coolant reservoir.

• If the engine coolant reservoir becomes empty, the LOW ENGINE

COOLANT warning will illuminate in the message center.

• Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for service interval

schedules.

• Be sure to read and understand Precautions when servicing your

vehicle in this chapter.

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,

the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If this occurs,

the LOW ENGINE COOLANT warning will illuminate and you will need

to add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Adding engine coolant

in this chapter.
