4. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir. It should be between the
MIN and MAX lines. Do not add
fluid if the level is in this range.

5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking
the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines. Be
sure to put the cap back on the reservoir.

BRAKE FLUID 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 your brake system could be
compromised; seek service from your dealer immediately.

CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)

Check the fluid level. Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for the
service interval schedules.

During normal operation, the fluid level in the clutch reservoir should
remain constant. If the fluid level drops, refill the fluid level to the step
in the reservoir.

Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet Ford specification
ESA-M6C25–A. Refer to Lubricant specifications in this 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.
