Refer to the  Maintenance  Schedule  to determine  what  kind  of transaxle 
fluid 
to use.  See  “Recommended  Fluids  and  Lubricants”  in  the Index. 
If 
the fluid level is low, add  only  enough  of the  proper  fluid  to bring  the 
level  into  the cross-hatched  area on  the  dipstick. 
1. Pull out the  dipstick. 
2. Using  a  long-neck  funnel,  add  enough  fluid  at the  dipstick  hole  to 
bring  it  to 
the proper level. It doesn’t  take  much  fluid,  generally  less 
than 
a pint (OSL). Don’t overfill. We  recommend  you  use  only  fluid 
labeled  DEXRON@-IIE  or DEXRON@-111,  because  fluids  with  that 
label  are made  especially  for  your  automatic  transaxle.  Damage 
caused  by fluid  other  than DEXRON@-IIE or  DEXRON@-I11  is  not 
covered  by your 
new vehicle  warranty. 
After  adding  fluid,  recheck  the fluid  level  as  described  under  “How  to 
When the correct  fluid  level  is  obtained,  push  the dipstick  back in all

How  To  Reset  Transaxle  Fluid  Change  Indicator: 
Your  vehicle  is  equipped 
with a  transaxle  fluid  change  indicator. A 
“CHANGE  TRANS FLUID”  message will display on the Information 
Center  when  the power  train  computer  determines  that the transaxle 
fluid  needs  to be  changed  or at each 
100,000 miles (160,000 km)  interval, 
whichever  occurs  first.  When  this  message  appears,  change  the transaxle 
fluid  and  reset  the transaxle  fluid  life  indicator  as  follows: 
Turn the key “ON”  with the engine  stopped. 
Press  and  hold  the “OFF”  and “REAR  DEFOG”  buttons  on the climate 
control  simultaneously  until  the “TRANS  FLUID RESET”  message 
appears  in  the Information  Center (between 
5 and 20 seconds).
