Maintenance and care 6. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid level should be in the crosshatched area on the dipstick. 7. If necessary, add fluid in .25 litre (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube until the level is correct. 8. If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed by a qualified technician. An overfill condition of transaxle fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage. Battery Your vehicle may be equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery. The Motorcraft maintenance-free battery normally does not require additional water during its life of service. However, for severe service usage or in high temperature climates, refer to the maintenance guide and or service guide for additional information. Keep the electrolyte in each cell up to the "level" indicator. Do not overfill the battery cell. For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals. 176
