To inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter:
1. Loosen the screws that hold the
cover on.
2. Disconnect the electrical
connector.
3. Lift off the cover.
4. Remove the engine air
cleaner/filter element and any
loose debris that may be found in
the air cleaner base.
5. Inspect or replace the air filter
element.
6. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 to
reinstall the cover and reconnect
the electrical connector.
{ CAUTION
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you or
others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it
helps to stop flames if the engine
backfires. If it is not there and the
engine backfires, you could be
burned. Do not drive with it off, and
be careful working on the engine
with the air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is
off, a backfire can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into the engine,
which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/filter in place
when you are driving.
Automatic Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level. A
transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
take the vehicle to the dealer/retailer
and have it repaired as soon as
possible.
Change the fluid at the intervals
listed in Additional Required
Services on page 6-6, and be sure
to use the transmission fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.
