●Check that oil is not leaking from transaxle or around it.
●Check oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking oil level.
●Set a new gasket on the filler plug and install it on the transaxle.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking A/T FluidELS000BV
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” 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 “P” 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 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on dipstick.
6. Check fluid condition.
●If 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.
●If 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 CO-11,
"RADIATOR" , CO-14, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
Changing A/T FluidELS000BW
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.

5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-36, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2
through 5.
Checking Transfer OilELS000BT
Check for oil leakage and oil level.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking oil level.
Changing Transfer OilELS000BU
1. Drain oil from drain plug and refill with new gear oil.
2. Check oil level.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill the oil. (Fill up for Approx. 3 minutes.)
