Brake System Bleed After Pad/Rotor Replace-
ment
Bleed Brakes

a. Due to the severe usage of brake
systems in police vehicles, bleeding the
brakes is recommended every time brake
pads and rotors are replaced.
b. Bleeding the brakes will remove any air in
the system, potentially created from the
severe duty cycle usage of the brake
system, while refreshing the system with
new fluid. As brake fluid is hygroscopic
(water absorbing), it can absorb moisture
from the atmosphere. This practice will
maintain the highest boiling point of the
brake fluid.

Automatic Transmission

Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission perfor-
mance and life. Use only the manufacturer's
specified transmission fluid. Refer to "Fluids
And Lubricants" in "Technical Specifications"
for fluid specifications. It is important to main-
tain the transmission fluid at the correct level
using the recommended fluid. No chemical
flushes should be used in any transmission;
only the approved lubricant should be used.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the
manufacturer's recommended fluid may
cause deterioration in transmission shift
quality and/or torque converter shudder, and
will require more frequent fluid and filter
changes. Refer to "Fluids And Lubricants" in
"Technical Specifications" for fluid
specifications.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends
against using any special additives in the trans-
mission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engi-
neered product and its performance may be
impaired by supplemental additives. Therefore,
do not add any fluid additives to the transmis-
sion. The only exception to this policy is the use
of special dyes for diagnosing fluid leaks. Avoid
using transmission sealers as they may
adversely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
