3. Remove the tightening bolt for the ATF level gauge.
4. Before driving, the fluid level can be checked at fluid tempera-
tures of 30° to 50°C (86° to 122°F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear
position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the fluid level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the fluid from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the ATF level gauge into the charging pipe until the
cap contacts the top of the charging pipe as shown.
CAUTION:
To check fluid level, insert the ATF level gauge until the cap
contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position.
f. Remove the ATF level gauge and note the fluid level. If the fluid
level is at low side of range, add fluid to the transmission
through the charging pipe.
CAUTION:
