more information. Inspect your air cleaner filter
restriction indicator more often
if the vehicle is used in
dusty areas or under off road conditions. Check the transmission fluid

A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
if needed.

indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.
