WARNING!

Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the
brake fluid catching fire.

Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed
container to avoid contamination from foreign matter.

Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate the
brake fluid as seal damage will result!

Automatic Transaxle (CVT)

Selection Of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the
transaxle to assure optimum transaxle performance. Use
only the manufacturer’s recommended transmission
fluid which has been formulated with special metal to
metal friction coefficient additives to provide the proper

steel belt traction on the drive and driven pulleys. Refer
to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid
type.

CAUTION!

Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-
turers recommended fluid will cause belt slip and
result in a complete transmission failure! Refer to
Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct
fluid type.

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level in the automatic transaxle should be
checked only by a trained technician.
