sion damage.

CAUTION!

If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your autho-
rized dealer immediately. Severe transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized dealer has the proper
tools to adjust the fluid level accurately.

Fluid And Filter Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at

the factory will provide satisfactory lubrication for the

life of the vehicle.
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required. How-

ever, change the fluid and filter if the fluid becomes

contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the transmission is

disassembled for any reason.

Fluid Level Check
Checking the fluid level while the vehicle is on level

ground and has been stationary for 15 minutes will

improve the accuracy of the fluid level reading.
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on the

axle. The fluid level should be 1-2.5mm below the fill

plug. Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
