BRAKE FLUID
Checking and adding brake
fluid
Brake fluid should be checked and
refilled as needed at least once
each year:
• Clean the reservoir cap before
removal to prevent dirt or water
from entering the reservoir.
• Visually inspect the fluid level.
• If necessary, add brake fluid
until the level reaches MAX. Do
not fill above this line.
• 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.
