Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to

replace the air filter.

See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.

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 stops flame if

the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the

engine backfires, you could be burned. Don’t

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 your engine, which will damage it.

Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when

you’re driving.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level.

A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss.

If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership

service department and have it repaired as soon as

possible. You may also have your fluid level checked by

your dealer or service center when you have your

oil changed.

Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles

(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or

more of these conditions:

In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90 F (32 C) or higher.

In hilly or mountainous terrain.

When doing frequent trailer towing.

Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.

If you do not use your vehicle under any of these

conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
