5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter housing. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.

6. Replace the two halves of the air filter housing and secure the clamp.

7. Connect the fresh air inlet tube to the radiator support.

BRAKE FLUID

Checking and adding brake fluid

Brake fluid should be checked and
refilled as needed. Refer to the
scheduled maintenance guide for
the service interval schedules.

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. 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.
