operation of the brake system. It does not require any service.
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 from a clean un-opened container until
the level reaches MAX (Hydroboost system only). Do not fill above this
line.
• For vehicles with the Hydromax
brake system, add fluid up to the
bottom of the rings located at the
top of the reservoir. Do not fill
above this line.

depending on brake system) and that is certified to meet Ford
specifications. Refer to Maintenance product specifications and
capacities in this chapter.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product
label. For MEDICAL EMERGENCY INFORMATION contact a
physician or Poison Control Center immediately; on Ford-Motorcraft
products call: 1-800-959-3673 (FORD). Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Use of any brake fluid other than that indicated for
your brake system will cause permanent damage.

dry. This may cause the brakes to fail.
Brake system fluid should be replaced on a regular basis to maintain
optimum braking performance, especially under heavy-duty driving
conditions such as frequent steep grades or heavy towing loads. Refer to
scheduled maintenance information for the service interval schedules.
