Transmission

Checking single-speed transmission

The transmission does not have an underhood transmission fluid
dipstick.

Your transmission does not consume fluid. It is designed to be filled for
life. However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Note: Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid should
be added by an authorized dealer.

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

Note: Keep brake fluid clean. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in brake system damage and
possible failure.

The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear, and will rise when the
brake components are replaced. 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

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. For additional information on
the electric power steering (EPS) system, Refer to Driving Aids.

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

WARNING: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below
40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure

to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could
result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or
accident.

Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low. In very cold weather, do
not fill the reservoir completely.
