Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated.After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently
includes one or more of the following driving conditions:
IRepeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
IRepeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside tempera-
tures remaining below freezing.
IOperating in hot weather in stop-and-go ªrush hourº traffic.
IExtensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
IDriving in dusty conditions.
IDriving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or
deterioration.
SMA121D
Checking A/T FluidNBMA00201. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50ÉC (86 to 122ÉF) using ªCOLDº range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in ªPº position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of
either range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of
range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122
to 176ÉF) using ªHOTº range on dipstick.

6. Check fluid condition.
IIf fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
IIf A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to LC-19, ªRadia-
torº.
