Checking the automatic
transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the 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 the engine is
running at normal idle speed.
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 the posi-
tions then place the shift lever in "N
(Neutral) or P (Park)" position.
3.Confirm that the fluid level is in
"HOT" range on the level gauge. If
the fluid level is lower, add the
specified fluid in 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 "C" (COLD) line and then
recheck the fluid level according to
the above step 2.
