If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 mL) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct.
If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized
dealer.

operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.

filler opening so that the fluid level
is at the bottom of the opening.
5. Install and tighten the fill plug
securely.
