POWER STEERING FLUID

Check the fluid. Refer to scheduled
maintenance information.

1. Start the engine and let it run
until it reaches normal operating
temperature.

2. Turn the steering wheel left and
right several times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level.

5. If the fluid is below the MIN line, add fluid in small amounts until it
reaches the correct level (between the MIN and MAX lines). Refer to
Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this chapter for
the proper fluid type.

Electric vehicles

For specific information on the Transit Connect Electric, refer to the
Azure Dynamics TC-E Owner’s Guide Supplement.

BRAKE FLUID

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 your authorized dealer
immediately. If the brake fluid level falls below the MIN line, a brake
warning lamp will come on.

Brake fluid should not be allowed to contact the eyes and skin. If this
happens, promptly wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.
