Here's how you can find and access the brake fluid reservoir:
1. Open the Hood: Release the hood latch inside the vehicle, and then lift the hood of your Taurus.
2. Locate the Brake Fluid Reservoir: The brake fluid reservoir is usually a translucent or clear plastic container with a black or colored lid. It's often labeled "BRAKE FLUID" or has a brake symbol.
3. Check Fluid Level: Before adding brake fluid, inspect the level in the reservoir. It should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks indicated on the reservoir.
4. Prepare the Brake Fluid: Make sure you have the correct type of brake fluid for your vehicle. DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is commonly used in most Ford vehicles. Refer to your owner's manual for specific recommendations.
5. Unscrew the Lid: Unscrew the lid or cap of the brake fluid reservoir. Some lids may have a push-button or twist mechanism.
6. Add Fluid: Use a funnel to carefully add brake fluid to the reservoir. Don't overfill it beyond the "MAX" mark.
7. Replace the Lid: Once the proper level is reached, securely screw the lid or cap back onto the reservoir.
Note: Always check your owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions related to brake fluid replacement. Brake fluid is corrosive and should be handled with care to avoid skin contact and ingestion.**
