BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID

Brake and clutch (if equipped) systems are supplied from the same
reservoir.

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.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid

The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.

Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and changes. 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.

Transmission fluid should be checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by an authorized dealer.
