The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid when this
service is indicated on a maintenance
message on the information display
or on the multi-information display
(depending on models).
If you are not sure how to add fluid
or you do not have the proper
equipment to reach the transmission
fluid fill hole, you should have this
maintenance done by a skilled
technician.
Insert the dipstick all the way into
the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration.
Remove the dipstick, and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Start the engine and let it run until
the radiator fan comes on, then
shut off the engine. For accurate
results, wait about 60 seconds
before going to step 2, but don’t
wait longer than 90 seconds.
