How to Check 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 your
dealer service department and
have it repaired as soon as
possible.
There is a special procedure
for checking and changing the
transmission fluid. Because
this procedure is difficult, you
should have this done at your
dealer service department.
Contact your dealer for additional
information or the procedure can
be found in the service manual.
To purchase a service manual,
see Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 13 15.
Change the fluid and filter at
the intervals listed in Scheduled
Maintenance on page 11 2, and
be sure to use the fluid listed
in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 7.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is
located in the engine compartment
on the driver side of the vehicle.
See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10 6 for more information
on location.

How to Inspect the Engine Air

To inspect the air cleaner/filter,
remove the filter from the vehicle
