08 Escape hybrid drain coolant plug

Does 08 hybrid have a block coolant drain plug? I know the radiator does. The factory shop manual says to make sure coolant drain plugs if equipped are tight????

The block drain plug on the Hybrid isn't even mentioned in the '09 Ford Workshop Manual probably because they use a Radiator Refiller Tool. You must bleed the air from the system also and it just mentions that being needed but no other info. I know the Owner's Manual gives the location of the bleeder valve. You add coolant till it comes out from at the valve while open.
