High fluid level

Fluid levels above the safe range
may result in transaxle 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 and also in the
Lubricant specifications section in the Capacities and specifications
chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transaxle component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 250 mL (1/2 pint) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct.

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by a qualified
technician.

An overfill condition of
transmission fluid may cause
shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the appropriate intervals
for changing the air filter element.

For information on replacement air filter elements, refer to Motorcraft
Part Numbers
in the Capacities and specifications chapter.

Do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do
not remove it while the engine is running.
