8.Rotate the air filter assembly 90 degreescounterclockwise and reinstall into therubber hose.
9. Tighten the clamp (A).
10. The transmission fluid level indicatorcan now be accessed.
Checking the fluid level
Low fluid level
If the fluid level is below the MIN range ofthe dipstick, add fluid to reach the hash marklevel.
Note:If the fluid level is below the MIN level,do not drive the vehicle. An underfillcondition may cause shift or engagementconcerns or possible damage.
Correct fluid level
The transmission fluid should be checked atnormal operating temperature 180°F-200°F(82°C-93°C) on a level surface. The normaloperating temperature can be reached afterapproximately 20 mph (30 km/h) of driving.
The transmission fluid level should betargeted within the cross-hatch area if atnormal operating temperature 180°F-200°F(82°C-93°C).

High fluid level
If the fluid level is above the MAX range ofthe dipstick, remove fluid to reach thehashmark level.
Note:Fluid level above the MAX level maycause shift or engagement concerns orpossible damage. High fluid levels can becaused by an overheating condition. If yourvehicle has been operated for an extendedperiod at high speeds, in city traffic duringhot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicleshould be switched off until normal operatingtemperatures are reached. Depending onvehicle use, cooling times could take up to30 minutes or longer.
Adjusting Automatic Transmission FluidLevels
Before adding any fluid, make sure thecorrect type is used. The type of fluid usedis normally indicated on the dipstick and alsoin the Technical Specifications section in thischapter.
Note:An overfill condition of transmissionfluid may cause shift or engagementconcerns or possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluidadditives, treatments or cleaning agents. Theuse of these materials may affecttransmission operation and result in damageto internal transmission components.Reinstall the air filter assembly. After the fluidlevel has been checked and adjusted asnecessary, do the following:
1. Shut the engine off.
2. Loosen the clamp holding the air filterassembly to the rubber hose.
3.Rotate the air filter assembly 90 degreesclockwise without disconnecting thesensor.
4.Seat the air filter assembly back into thegrommets by pushing down on the airfilter assembly.

Because your vehicle’s engine iselectronically-controlled by a computer,some engine control settings are maintainedby power from the battery. Some enginecomputer settings, like the idle trim and fueltrim strategy, optimize the driveability andperformance of the engine. The clock andradio station presets are also maintained inmemory by power from the low-voltagebattery. These settings are erased when atechnician disconnects and connects thelow-voltage battery.
To restore the settings, do the following:
Note:Until you switch the ignition to the onposition, you will receive a message in yourinformation display stating that your vehicleis not in park.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
3. Switch off all accessories.
4. Press the brake pedal and start yourvehicle.
5. Run the engine until it reaches normaloperating temperature. While the engineis warming up, complete the following:Reset the clock. See Audio Unit (page391). Reset the power windowsbounce-back feature. See PowerWindows (page 95). Reset the radiostation presets. See Audio Unit (page391).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least oneminute.
7.Drive the vehicle at least 10 mi (16 km) tocompletely relearn the idle trim and fueltrim strategy.
Note:If you do not allow the engine torelearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, theidle quality of your vehicle may be adverselyaffected until the engine computereventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trimstrategy.
Note:Certain features may not operate ifthe battery monitor system is not reset witha scan tool following a jump start or batteryreplacement. Normal electrical accessoryoperation should resume after your vehicleis left undisturbed for 8 hours.
Make sure that you dispose of old batteriesin an environmentally friendly way. Seekadvice from your local authority aboutrecycling old batteries.
If storing your vehicle for more than 30 dayswithout recharging the battery, werecommend that you disconnect the batterycables to maintain battery charge for quickstarting.

What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be repaired in two stages with the kit:
•In the first stage, the tire is reinflated witha sealing compound and air. After the tirehas been inflated, you need to drive thevehicle about 3.7 mi (6 km) to distributethe sealant in the tire.
•In the second stage, you need to checkthe tire pressure and adjust, if necessary,to the vehicle's specified tire inflationpressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air
WARNING: Do not stand directlybeside the tire while the compressor isoperating. This could cause personal injuryif the tire bursts.
Note:If the tire does not inflate to therecommended tire pressure within 15minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.
WARNING: Watch the sidewall of thetire when inflating. If any cracks, bumps orsimilar damage appears, switch thecompressor off and let the air out by meansof the pressure relief valve. Do not continuedriving with this tire. This could cause lossof vehicle control.
WARNING: Do not run the enginewhen operating the air compressor unlessthe vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilatedarea.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, leveland secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parkingbrake and turn the engine off. Inspect theflat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Useappropriate precautions to avoid any allergicreactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that haspierced the tire. If a puncture is located inthe tire sidewall, stop and call roadsideassistance.
1.Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (blacktube) from the back of the compressorhousing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve byturning the connector clockwise. Tightenthe connection securely.

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-voltpower point in the vehicle.
5.Remove the warning sticker found on thecasing/housing and place it on the centerof the steering wheel.
6. Start the vehicle and leave the enginerunning so the compressor does notdrain the vehicle’s battery.
7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealantposition. Turn the kit on by pressing theon/off button (B).
8.Inflate the tire to the pressure shown onthe tire label located on the edge ofdriver’s door or the door jamb area. Forthe first 45-60 seconds when the sealantis being pumped into the tire, the airpressure gauge may indicate a pressurehigher than the label pressure.This isnormal and should be no reason forconcern. The pressure gauge readingindicates the tire inflation pressure afterabout 60 seconds of operation duringthe tire repair process. The final tirepressure should be checked with thecompressor turned OFF in order to getan accurate pressure reading.

9.When the recommended tire pressure isreached, turn off the kit, unplug thepower cable, and disconnect the hosefrom the tire valve. Re-install the valvecap on the tire valve and return the kit tothe stowage area.
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive thevehicle 3.7 mi (6 km) to distribute thesealant evenly inside the tire. Do notexceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
11. After 3.7 mi (6 km), stop and check thetire pressure. See Second stage:Checking tire pressure.
WARNING: If you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbance or noisewhile driving, reduce your speed until youcan safely pull off to the side of the road andcall for roadside assistance. Failure to do socould cause you to lose control of yourvehicle and increase the risk of personalinjury or death.
Note:If you experience any unusualvibration, ride disturbance or noise whendriving, do not proceed to the second stageof this operation.
Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure of your tires asfollows:
1.Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Firmly screw the air compressor hoseonto the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the TMK selector switchclockwise to the air position and note thetire pressure.
