A/T Fluid Level Check

Level Check at Normal Operation Temperature
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against
wheels.
3) With selector at "P" position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches
normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C / 158 –
176 °F). As a guide to check fluid temperature, warm
up engine to normal operating.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to "L"
and back to "P" position.
6) With engine idling, pull out fluid level gauge, wipe it
off with a clean cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out fluid level gauge (1) again and check fluid
level (4) indicated on it. The lowest fluid level should
be between FULL HOT (2) and LOW HOT (3). If it is
below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
up to FULL HOT.

Automatic Transmission/Transaxle:
NOTE
• Do not race engine while checking fluid
level, even after the engine start.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause
foaming and loss of fluid through breather.
Then slippage and transaxle failure can
result.
• Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL
HOT requires 0.4 liters (0.85/0.70 US/Imp
pt.).
• If vehicle was driven under high load such
as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be
checked about half an hour after it is
stopped.
