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
flame 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 your engine, which will damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when you
are driving.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

When to Check and Change

A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:

In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90° F (32° C) or higher.

In hilly or mountainous terrain.

When doing frequent trailer towing.

Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery
service.

If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require change until
the message CHANGE TRANS FLUID appears on
the Driver Information Center.

See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
