BRAKE FLUID

Checking and adding brake fluid

Brake fluid should be
checked and refilled as
needed. Refer to the
“Service Guide” for the
service interval
schedules:

1. Clean the reservoir
cap before removal to
prevent dirt or water from entering the reservoir.

2. Visually inspect the
fluid level.

3. If necessary, add
brake fluid until the
level reaches MAX. Do
not fill above this line.

4. Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid certified to meet
Ford specifications. Refer to

Lubricant

specifications

in the

Capacities and specifications

chapter.

Brake fluid is toxic.

If you use a brake fluid that is not DOT 3,
you will cause permanent damage to your

brakes.

Do not let the reservoir for the master
cylinder run dry. This may cause the brakes

to fail.
