(Check ‘fluid level)
Engine (Non-turbo)>
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start engine and allow to idle in PARK for at le ast 60
seconds. The warmer the transaxle fluid, the more
accurate the reading.
3.While sitting in driver seat, apply brakes and plac e gear
selector in each position. Return gear selector to PARK.
4. Raise hood and remove transaxle fluid level indi cator
(dipstick) and wipe clean with a suitable shop towe l.

dipstick and verify it is seated in fill tube.
Caution
Do not overfill automatic transaxle, leakage or dam age
can result.
6. Remove dipstick, with handle above tip, take flu id level
reading. If the vehicle has been driven for’ at fea st 15
minutes before inspecting fluid
transaxle can be
considered hot and reading should be above the WARM
mark. If vehicle has run for less than 15 minutes a nd
more than 60 seconds, transaxle can be considered w arm
and reading should be above ADD mark. Add fluid onl y
if level is below ADD mark on dipstick when transax le
is warm.
Engine (Turbo) and Engine>
1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the us ual
, temperature
2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3.Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place
lever, in “N” Neutral position. This operation is n ecessary
to be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
