CHECKING AND ADDING
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid should be checked and
refilled as needed at least once a
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.
• 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 brake fluid that
is not DOT 3, you will
cause permanent damage.
Do not let the reservoir in
the master cylinder run
dry. This may cause the brakes
to fail.
