Check the fluid level through the reservoir. If
necessary, add automatic transmission fluid
DEXRON
II or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph)
for 20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the
fluid is hot (60C ± 80C or 140 F ± 175F). You may
also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room
temperature, 10 C ± 30C or 50F ± 85F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours.

Clean all dirt off the reservoir and look at the fluid level.
If the fluid is cold, the level should be in the ºCOLDº
range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in the
ºHOTº range. If the level is at the low side of the
appropriate range, add automatic transmission fluid
DEXRON
II or III to bring the level within the range.
To remove the filler cap, turn it counterclockwise and lift
up. To reinstall it, turn it clockwise. After replacing the
filler cap, visually check the steering box case, vane
pump and hose connections for leaks or damage.
CAUTION
The reservoir may be hot so be careful not to burn
yourself.
