Check and Top-up Fluid
1.With vehicle on a ramp at a convenient working
height, using LRT-41-021, carefully remove
IRD level plug and collect sealing washer.
2.Top-up, if required, until fluid just runs from
hole. Allow sufficient time for oil to flow until it
reaches a common level in unit.

with mineral oil. Mineral oils remove the
natural fats from the skin, leading to
dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
1.With vehicle on a ramp at a convenient working

1.Position vehicle on ramp.
2.Apply handbrake and position chocks under
front and rear wheels.
3.Remove underbelly panel.
+ EXTERIOR FITTINGS, REPAIRS,
Panel - underbelly.
4.Connect TestBook/T4 to monitor gearbox fluid
temperature.
CAUTION: The gearbox fluid level must only
be checked when the temperature of the
fluid is between 35° and 45°. The reading
obtained will be incorrect if the fluid is
outside this temperature range.
5.Start engine, move selector lever from 'P'
through all gear positions, pausing in each gear
position for 2-3 seconds and return to 'P'
position.
6.Clean area around level plug.
7.With the engine still running, remove level plug
using a 5 mm Allen socket and allow any
excess fluid to drain off.
CAUTION: There are a number of similar
fixings/plugs on the underside of the
gearbox. It is imperative that the correct
plug is removed prior to checking the level.
Removing the wrong fixing/plug could
result in internal damage to the gearbox.

Gear Change and Parking Pawl Engagement –
(Automatic only, normal driving conditions)
1.Select 'R' and check for smooth take up.
2.Select 'D' and check for smooth up-changes of
ratio from rest.
3.Slow down vehicle and check for smooth down-
changes of ratio.
4.Stop vehicle on a slope.
5.Select 'P' and release handbrake.
6.Check that vehicle does not move and that
selector does not slip out of 'P'.
7.Carry out a similar check with vehicle facing in
the opposite direction.
Steering
1.With vehicle stationary, turn steering from lock
to lock. Check for smooth operation and ensure
there is no undue noise from the power steering
pump or drive belt.
Suspension
1.Check for noise, irregularity in ride (e.g.
dampers) and wheel imbalance.
Foot brake
1.Check for pedal effort, travel, braking
efficiency, pulling and binding.
Handbrake
1.Apply handbrake firmly, check travel and
ratchet hold and release.
Instruments
1.Check for correct operation of all instruments
and warning devices where practical.
Body
1.Check for abnormal body noise.
Seat Belts
1.Check for operation of inertia reels.Road Test
1.Drive vehicle on a short road test. Check all
vehicle systems for correct operation. Pay
particular attention to:
lEngine noise
lGearbox noise
lSuspension noise
lBody noise
lBraking system operation
lGear selection
lEngine performance
2.Where possible, check for correct operation of
Hill Descent Control (HDC) system. This should
not be carried out if excessive journey time is
required.
3.After road test, carry out a final inspection of the
vehicle on vehicle ramps.
4.Check all underbonnet fluid levels and top-up if
necessary.
