Maintenance and care Adding transaxle fluid Before adding any fluid, be sure the correct type is being used (this is indicated on the transaxle dipstick). Add fluid in 250 ML (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube to bring the level within the crosshatched area. If the level is above the top hole on the dipstick, a qualified technician should remove the excess fluid. Always dispose of automotive fluids in a responsible manner. Follow your community's standards for disposing of these types of fluids. Call your local recycling center to find out about recycling automotive fluids. BATTERY If the original equipment maintenance-free battery needs replacing, it may be replaced with a low-maintenance battery. For more information on replacement batteries, refer to Motorcraft part numbers in the Capacities and specifications chapter. The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns skin, eyes, and clothing. 127
