High fluid level

Fluid levels above the safe range may result in transmission failure.
An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or
engagement concerns and/or possible damage.
High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition.

Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick. Refer to Maintenance
product specifications and capacities in this chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transmission component damage.
If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct.

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed by an authorized
dealer.

Changing the air filter element

1. Disconnect the fresh air inlet tube
from the radiator support.

2. Open the clamp that secures the
two halves of the air filter housing
together.

3. Carefully separate the two halves
of the air filter housing.

4. Remove the air filter element
from the housing.

5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter housing. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.

6. Replace the two halves of the air filter housing and secure the clamp.

7. Connect the fresh air inlet tube to the radiator support.

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
