Maintenance Note: Fluid level above the MAX level may cause shift or engagement concerns or possible damage. An overheating condition can cause high fluid levels. If you operate your vehicle for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic during hot weather or pulling a trailer, you should switch your vehicle off until your vehicle reaches normal operating temperatures. Depending on vehicle use, cooling times could take up to 30 minutes or longer. Adjusting Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels 3. Seat the air filter assembly back into the grommets by pushing down on the air filter assembly. 4. Tighten the clamp. 5. Install and tighten the two bolts that attach the air filter assembly to the front of the vehicle. 6. Install the bolt cover. 7. Reinstall the harness retaining clip into the front of the air filter assembly. E158846 Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and in the Technical Specifications section in this chapter. Note: An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift or engagement concerns or possible damage. Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components. Reinstall the air filter assembly. After you check the fluid level and adjust as necessary, do the following: 1. Switch the engine off. 2. Loosen the clamp holding the air filter assembly to the rubber hose. BRAKE FLUID CHECK Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid.
