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/or dipstick handle
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.

CABIN AIR FILTER

The cabin air filter restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen
particles. The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the
cowl vent screen on the passenger side of the vehicle.
