What does the coolant light on my Lincoln dashboard mean?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

When to Service Your 2019 Lincoln MKZ Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Lincoln MKZ radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.
