Open  the hood  and fit 
a suitable  fender cover. 
Remove and  wipe the dipstick. 
. Fit a funnel to the dipstick  tube. 
. Initially fill the transmission  with 4,5 liters of fluid. 
. Remove  the funnel. 
. Open  the front  door. 
. Check  that the parking  brake is applied.

Apply  the footbrake. 
Run  the shift  lever  through  all positions,  finally returning 
to  the  Park  position. 
. Release  the footbrake. 
. Insert  the dipstick,  then remove  and inspect  the level. 
. Fit the funnel  to the  dipstick tube. 
. Fill the transmission  to the  'COLD'  level mark  on the dip- 
stick  with the correct  fluid, see the Powertrain Automatic 
Transmissions Service Manual,  General  Data. 
CAUTION: On no account  should the vehicle be  driven un- less the fluid  level is at  the  'COLD'  level and  the 
system primed.

= Close  the door. 
J&&Q: 0 After  road testing the  vehicle, the fluid  level on the 
dipstick  should be between  the 'HOT' Min I Max 
marks.  Check the level  with the transmission  at nor- 
mal  operating temperature (90 to 100°C), with  the 
engine  left running  and the transmission  in the  Park 
position.
