Checking the Automatic Transaxle
Fluid
With the vehicle on a level surface and the brake
fully applied, start the engine and move the gear
shift selector through all of the gears allowing
sufficient time for each position to engage. Securely
latch the gear shift selector in the P (Park) position.
Fully set the parking brake and leave the engine
running.
Wipe off the dipstick cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the indicator end clean. Put the dipstick back
into the filler tube and make sure it is fully seated.
Pull the dipstick out and read the fluid level.
NOTE: Your vehicle should not be driven until
some fluid has been added if the fluid level is
below the bottom dimple on the dipstick and the
outside temperature is above 50˚F (10˚C). Add only
enough fluid to bring the level above the bottom
hole.
If the vehicle has not been driven and the fluid
level is above the bottom dimple on the dipstick, do
not add fluid. Recheck the fluid level after your
vehicle has reached normal operating temperature.
Normal operating temperature is reached after
driving approximately 20 miles (30 km). The fluid
level should be within the crosshatched area on the
dipstick.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an
extended period at high speeds, driven in city traffic
during hot weather, or has been pulling a trailer,
the vehicle should be turned off for about 30
minutes to allow the fluid to cool before checking.
