tions from the P position through the L position and
then shift it into the P position.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add the
fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level at the normal operating tem-
perature 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F) and add as nec-
essary.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(d) If necessary, replace the differential fluid.
