5. Inspect or replace the air filter
element.
6. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 to
reinstall the cover and reconnect
the electrical connector.
{ CAUTION
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you
or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it
helps to stop flames if the engine
backfires. If it is not there and the
engine backfires, you could be
burned. Do not drive with it off, and
be careful working on the engine
with the air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter
is off, a backfire can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into the engine,
which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/filter in place when
you are driving.
Automatic Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check
the transmission fluid level. A
transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
take the vehicle to the dealer/retailer
and have it repaired as soon as
possible.
Change the fluid at the intervals
listed in Additional Required Services
on page 6-6, and be sure to use
the transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.
Notice: Use of the incorrect
automatic transmission fluid
may damage the vehicle, and the
damages may not be covered by
the vehicle’s warranty. Always use
the automatic transmission fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.
The transmission fluid will not
reach the end of the dipstick unless
the transmission is at operating
temperature. If you need to check the
transmission fluid level, please take
the vehicle to your dealer/retailer.
