Brake Fluid
*
[SV30300(ALL)04/95]
Under normal circumstances, your vehicle
should not use up brake fluid rapidly. However,
expect the level of the brake fluid to slowly fall
as you put more mileage on your vehicle and
the brake lining wears.
%*
[SV30400(ALL)06/93]
You should check the brake fluid at every
scheduled engine oil change, but be sure to
check it at least once a year. You can do this by
looking at the fluid level in the plastic reservoir
on the master cylinder. (SeeThe Engine Typesin
this chapter to locate the master cylinder.) The
fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.
*
[SV30450(ALL)01/95]
RWARNING
Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers
and polyglycols. Avoid contact with
eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after
handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes,
flush eyes with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.
*
[SV30500(ALL)03/95]
If the fluid is low, carefully clean and remove
the cap from the reservoir. Fill the reservoir to
the MAX line with Ford High Performance DOT
3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent
DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford specification
ESA-M6C25-A.
