BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
WARNINGS
Use of any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid may
reduce brake efficiency and not meet
Ford's performance standards.
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor.
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only fluid that meets Ford
specifications and from a sealed
container.
Note: Keep brake fluid clean and dry.
Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in
brake system damage and possible failure.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
The fluid level will drop slowly as the
brakes wear, and will rise when the brake
components are replaced.
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid.
If the fluid levels are outside of the normal
operating range, the performance of the
system could be compromised; seek
service from you authorized dealer
immediately.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 169).
