gine turned off.
29. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

range depending on the fluid temperature.
30. A U TO M AT I C TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking and
foot brake applied, shift the selector into all
positions from ºPº to ºLº, and then shift into ºPº
position.
(c) Turn and pull out the dipstick and wipe off the
fluid with a clean rag.
Re±insert the dipstick fully and check that the
fluid level is in the ºHOTº range.
(d) Perform this check with the fluid at normal
driving temperature (70±80°C (158±176°F)).
If the level is at the low side, add fluid.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
