Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid and filter at
the correct service interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 433).
Your
transmission does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be checked
if the transmission is not working properly,
(i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts
slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.

Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK

Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.

POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK

WARNING

Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. This could cause serious
personal injury. Rinse the affected

areas immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician.

If the power steering fluid level is not
between the MAX and MIN marks, add
power steering fluid that meets the correct
specification. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 271).

Adding Power Steering Fluid

1.

Remove the filler cap.

2. Add power steering fluid to the MAX

mark. Do not overfill.

3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you

feel a strong resistance.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.

When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.

For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.

DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
WATER TRAP

WARNING

Do not dispose of fuel in the
household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized

waste disposal facility.

Your vehicle is fitted with a diesel fuel
conditioner module located behind the fuel
tank. A warning lamp will illuminate and a
message will be displayed when
approximately 3.38 (100 ml) of water
accumulates in the module. If you allow
the water level to exceed this level, the
water may pass through to the engine and
may cause fuel injection equipment
damage.

Note: To drain the fuel filter water trap,
access the underside of your vehicle.
