How do you check the transmission fluid on a 2006 Ford Freestyle?

To check the Transmission Fluid on a 2006 Ford Freestyle, start by warming up the engine to operating temperature and then park the vehicle on a level surface. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually near the back of the engine bay, remove it, and wipe it clean with a cloth. Reinsert the dipstick completely, then remove it again to check the fluid level; it should be within the marked range. If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
