Checking the automatic
transaxle fluid level
WARNING - Parking brake
To avoid sudden movement of
the vehicle, apply parking brake
and depress the brake pedal
before moving the shift lever.
WARNING
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
The transaxle fluid level should
be checked when the engine is
at normal operating tempera-
ture. This means that the
engine, radiator, radiator hose
and exhaust system etc., are
very hot. Exercise great care not
to burn yourself during this pro-
cedure.
The volume of the transaxle fluid
changes with temperature. Although
it is best to check the level after hav-
ing driven the vehicle for at least 30
minutes, the level can be checked
after warming the fluid using the fol-
lowing procedure.
