Brake fluid — description and safety precautions (Mondeo 1)

When handling brake fluid, pay attention to the following:

Brake fluid is poisonous. Never suck brake fluid out with your mouth through a hose. Pour brake fluid only into a container that cannot be accidentally used when eating.

Brake fluid is caustic, so do not allow it to come into contact with the paintwork, otherwise wipe it off immediately and rinse with plenty of water.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. Therefore, store brake fluid in a hermetically sealed container.

Brake fluid drained from the brake system cannot be reused. When bleeding the brakes, also use new brake fluid.

Brake fluid specification: Super DOT 4 or FORD-ESD-M6C57-A.

Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with mineral oil. Even small traces of mineral oil make the brake fluid unusable or cause the brake system to fail.

Replace brake fluid every 3 years, preferably after cold weather.

Do not pour old brake fluid into the sewer or mix it with engine oil; it is disposed of as special waste.
