Fluid Level

The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be inspected regularly. Measure it as
described below.

The volume of fluid changes with
temperature. Fluid must be checked while
idling the engine without driving at
normal operating temperature.

CAUTION

Ø Low fluid level causes transaxle

slippage. Overfilling can cause
foaming, loss of fluid, and
transaxle malfunction.

Ø Use specified fluid (page 10-4). A

nonspecified fluid could result in
transaxle malfunction and failure.

1. Park on a level surface and set the

parking brake firmly.

2. Start the engine and depress the brake

pedal.

3. Move the shift lever through all ranges,

then set it at P.

WARNING

Make sure the brake pedal is applied
before shifting the shift lever:

Shifting the shift lever without first
depressing the brake pedal is
dangerous. The vehicle could move
suddenly and cause an accident.

4. With the engine still idling, pull out the

dipstick, wipe it clean, and put it back.
