AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the automatic
transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following
procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral)
position and confirm if the engine is
running at normal idle speed.
NOTICE
Insert the level gauge, after checking
the automatic transaxle fluid level. In
the direction referred in the picture.
CAUTION
If you insert the level gauge in the
wrong direction, it can cause defor‐
mation (or damage) to level gauge.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently [fluid temperature
70~80°C (158~176°F)], for example
by 10 minutes usual driving, move
the shift lever through all positions
then place the shift lever in N(Neu‐
tral) or P(Park) position.

3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the level gauge. If
the fluid level is lower, add the
specified fluid from the fill hole. If
the fluid level is higher, drain the
fluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition [fluid temperature
20~30°C (68~86°F)], add the fluid to
the "COLD" line and then recheck
the fluid level according to the
above step 2.
