Ford Fusion. Brake Fluid Check
  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Look at the brake fluid reservoir to see where the brake fluid level is relative to the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.

Only use fluids that meet our specifications.

Brake Fluid Service Interval

Brake fluid absorbs water over time, which reduces braking effectiveness. Replace the brake fluid at the specified intervals to prevent deterioration of braking performance.

For detailed interval information, refer to the Scheduled Maintenance section of your Owner's Manual or the local service manual.
