2. Visually inspect the fluid level.

3. If necessary, add brake fluid from
a clean un-opened container 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 brake fluid contacts the eyes, flush eyes
with running water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if

irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention immediately.

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.
