or splits. Inspect underneath of your car for any indication of grease splatter in the areas of constant velocity joint boots, outboard and inboard locations; grease splatter is an indication of boot and/or clamp damage. Brake Fluid 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 pads wear. Check the brake fluid at least once a year. You can do this by looking at the fluid level in the plastic reservoir on the master cylinder. (See The Engine Types earlier in this chapter to locate the master cylinder.) The fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.
RWARNING
Brake fluid is toxic.
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.

Brake fluid level 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 DOT 3
equivalent fluid meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.RWARNING
If you use a brake fluid that is not DOT 3, you will cause permanent damage to your brakes.
Do not fill the reservoir above the MAX line. If you find that the fluid level is excessively low — below the seam or ridge on the outside of the plastic reservoir — have the brake system inspected.
RWARNING
Do not let the reservoir for the master cylinder run dry. This may cause the brakes to fail.

Power Steering Fluid Check the level of the power steering fluid at least twice a year (i.e., every Spring and Fall). Checking and Adding Power Steering Fluid 1. Start the engine and let it run until the
power steering fluid reaches normal operating temperature. The power steering fluid will be at the right temperature when the engine coolant temperature gauge in the instrument cluster is near the center of the NORMAL operating temperature range. 2. While the engine idles, turn the steering
wheel back and forth several times. Make sure that the cap assembly is installed at this time.
3. Turn the engine off and check the level on
the power steering reservoir.

4. Remove the dipstick to read the power
steering fluid level. If the power steering fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level, until you reach the HIGH line. Do not overfill. To find out how much fluid your vehicle’s power steering fluid reservoir will hold, see Refill capacities for fluids in the Index.
5. When you are finished, put the dipstick back
in and make sure that it fits snugly.
If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive your vehicle for a long period of time before adding fluid. This can damage the power steering pump. If you must check the power steering fluid before it reaches normal operating temperature, make sure that the fluid reaches the “L” (or LOW) line range in the reservoir. The reading will only be accurate if the fluid temperature is approximately 70˚ to 100˚F (21˚ to 38˚C). Air Conditioning Refrigerant Whenever service to the air conditioning system is required, make sure the service facility uses a refrigerant recycling system. These systems will capture the refrigerant for reuse. Releasing certain refrigerants into the atmosphere can damage our environment. Fuses If electrical parts in your vehicle are not working, the system may have been overloaded and blown a fuse. If a fuse blows, all the parts of your vehicle that use the fuse will not work. Your vehicle has two fuse panels. The interior fuse panel is below the instrument panel in front of the driver’s door. The main panel is under the hood behind the battery.

To make sure that the catalytic converter and the other emission control parts continue to work properly: q Use only unleaded fuel. q Avoid running out of fuel. q Do not turn off the ignition while your
vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds.
q Do not push start your vehicle. q Have the services listed in your Maintenance
Schedule and Record booklet performed according to the specified schedule.
RWARNING
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Watch for fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke, loss of oil pressure, the charge warning light, the check engine light, or the temperature warning light. These sometimes indicate that the emission system is not working properly. Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. Changes that cause more unburned fuel to reach the exhaust system can increase the temperature of the engine or exhaust system. In general, maintenance, replacement, or service of the emission control devices or systems in your new Ford Motor Company vehicle or engine may be performed at your expense by any automotive repair establishment or individual using automotive parts equivalent to those with which your vehicle or engine was

originally equipped. If other than Ford or Motorcraft or Ford authorized remanufactured parts are used for maintenance, replacement, or for the service of components affecting emission control, the owner should be assured that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. Please consult your warranty information booklet for complete warranty information. By law, anyone who manufactures, repairs, services, sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles is not permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent it from working. In some of the United States and in Canada, vehicle owners may be liable if their emission control device is removed or is prevented from working. Never use a metal exhaust collector when you service your vehicle. If the metal collector contacts any of your vehicle’s plastic trim or bumper parts they could melt or deform. Do not drive your vehicle if it does not operate properly. See your dealer if the engine runs on for more than five seconds after you shut it off or if it misfires, surges, stalls, or backfires. Information about your vehicle’s emission control system is on the Vehicle Emission Control Information decal located on or near the engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune-up specifications.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance Testing In some localities it may become a legal requirement to pass an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the vehicle’s powertrain system or its battery has just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to a not ready for I/M testing condition. To prepare for I/M testing, the law specifies a “need for additional mixed city and highway driving to complete the check” of the OBD II system. As soon as all of the OBD II system checks are successfully completed, the OBD II system is set to the ready condition. The amount of driving required to reach the ready condition varies with individual driving patterns. To complete this requirement in the minimum amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle defined below. If the vehicle owner cannot or does not want to do the additional driving required by law, a service center can perform this drive cycle as it would any other type of repair work. OBD II Drive Cycle The following steps must be run in the order shown. If any steps are interrupted, repeat the preceding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable between steps. Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.

Engine
Start engine every 15 days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal operating temperature. q With your foot on the brake, shift through all
the gears while the engine is running.
Fuel system
Fill fuel tank with high-quality unleaded fuel until the first automatic shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.
NOTE: During extended periods of vehicle storage (60 days or more), fuel may deteriorate due to oxidation. This can damage rubber and other polymers in the fuel system and may also clog small orifices.
Ford Gas Stabilizer should be added whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed 60
days. Follow the instructions on the label. The vehicle should then be operated at idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the fuel system. A volatile corrosion inhibitor added to the fuel system will protect the fuel system’s inner surfaces from corrosion. Follow the instructions packaged with the product. Cooling system q Protect against freezing temperatures. Battery q Check and recharge as necessary. q Keep connections clean and covered with alight coat of grease.
