2. Wait until the radiator fan starts and then

u Perform step 3 after waiting for about 60
seconds (less than 90 seconds).
3. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the
transmission and wipe it with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely, as shown
in the image.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the
fluid level.
u It should be between the upper and
lower marks in the HOT range.
6. If the level is below the lower mark,
add fluid into the dipstick hole to bring it
to the level between the upper and lower
marks, and have your vehicle checked by
a dealer immediately.
