Automatic Transaxle Fluid
It
is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. A
transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss.
If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon as
possible. You may also have your fluid level checked by
your dealer or service center when you have your
oil
changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every
50,000
miles
(83
000
km)
if
the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches
90°F
(32°C) or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.
Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery
service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
Notice:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRQN@-Ill, because fluid with that label
is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused
by
fluid other than DEXRON@-Ill is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
Manual Transaxle Fluid
It
is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. A
transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss.
If
a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon as
possible. You may also have your fluid level checked by
your dealer or service center when you have your oil
changed. See
Part
D:
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
on
page
6-15
for the proper fluid
to
use.
Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check clutch fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding
fluid won’t correct a leak.
A fluid
loss
in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
