Checking and adding automatic
transaxle fluid
Follow the scheduled service
intervals outlined in the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide".
Your transaxle does not consume
fluid. However, it is recommended
that you refer to your "Scheduled
Maintenance Guide" for scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and
changes. The fluid level should be
checked or changed by a qualified
technician at the appropriate
intervals or if the transaxle is not
working properly, i. e., if the
transaxle slips or shifts slowly or if
you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.
Automatic transaxle fluid
expands when warmed. To obtain
an accurate fluid level check drive
the vehicle until warmed,
approximately 30 km (20 miles). If
your vehicle has been operated for
an extended period at high speeds,
in city traffic during hot weather or
pulling a trailer, the vehicle should
be turned off for about 30 minutes
to allow fluid to cool before
checking.
1. Drive the vehicle 30 km
(20 miles) or until the vehicle
reaches normal operating
temperatures.
2. Park the vehicle on a level
surface and engage the parking
brake.
