Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. Only use a washer fluid that meets Ford specifications. See Capacities and Specifications (page 412). State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the use ofmethanol, acommonwindshieldwasher antifreeze additive. Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used only if they provide coldweather protectionwithout damaging the vehicle’s paint finish, wiper blades or washer system. DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER WATER TRAP WARNING Do not dispose of fuel in the household refuse or the public sewage system. Use an authorized waste disposal facility.

The fuel water trap is above the frame rail under the driver side of the vehicle.

Only use brake fluid from a sealed container. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage or failure.

If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water and contact your physician. A fluid level between the MAX and MIN lines is within the normal operating range and there is no need to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal operating range could compromise the performance of the system. Have your vehicle checked immediately.
