*Change automatic transmission fluid only as
necessary. Generally, it is necessary to change
automatic transmission fluid only if your vehicle is driven
under one of the Special Operating Conditions listed in
your ªOwner's Manual Supplement / Maintenance
Scheduleº. When changing the automatic transmission
fluid, use only Toyota Genuine ATF Type T±IV (AT F
JWS3309 or NWS6500) to aid in assuring optimum
transmission performance.NOTICE
Using automatic transmission fluid other than
Toyota Genuine ATF Type T±IV may cause
deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your
transmission accompanied by vibration, and
ultimately damage the automatic transmission of
your vehicle.

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 140F ± 175F). You may
also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room
temperature, 10C ± 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 reservoir cap, turn it counterclockwise
and lift up. To reinstall it, turn it clockwise. After
replacing the reservoir cap, visually check the steering
box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or
damage.

Check the fluid level on the dipstick. If necessary,
add automatic transmission fluid DEXRONII 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 140F ± 175F). You may
also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room
temperature, 10C ± 30C or 50F ± 85F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours.

1. Clean all dirt off the reservoir.
2. Remove the reservoir cap by turning it
counterclockwise and wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
4. Remove the reservoir cap again and look at the fluid
level. If the fluid is cold, the level should be in the ºCOLDº
range on the dipstick. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level
should be in the ºHOTº range. If the level is at the low
side of either range, add automatic transmission fluid
DEXRON
II or III to bring the level within the range.
5. After replacing the reservoir cap, visually check the
steering box case, vane pump and hose connections for
leaks or damage.
