Maintenance Adjusting Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels 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 the fluid level has been checked and adjusted as necessary, do the following: 1. Shut the engine off. 2. Loosen the clamp holding the air filter assembly to the rubber hose. 3. Rotate the air filter assembly 90 degrees clockwise without disconnecting the sensor. 4. Seat the air filter assembly back into the grommets by pushing down on the air filter assembly. 5. Tighten the clamp. 6. Install and tighten two bolts that attach air filter assembly to the front of the vehicle. 7. Install the bolt cover (if equipped). 8. Reinstall the harness retaining clip into the front of the air filter assembly. BRAKE FLUID CHECK Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid levels are outside of the normal operating range, the performance of the system could be compromised; seek service from your authorized dealer immediately. E158845 POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system. There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. E158846 WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident. 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 Technical Specifications section in this chapter. Note: An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift or engagement concerns or possible damage. 292 MKZ (), enUSA
