SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Automatic transaxle fluid
INSPECTION 1. Drive the vehicle until the fluid reaches normal operating temperature [70~80°C].
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all gear positions. This will fill the torque converter and the hudraulic system with
fluid and move the selector lever to the "N" (Neutral) or "P"(Park) position.
4. Before removing the oil level gauge, wipe all contaminants from around the oil level gauge. Then take out the oil
level gauge and check the condition of the fluid.
If the fluid smells as if it is burning, it means that the fluid has been contaminated by fine particles from the
bushes and friction materials, a transaxle overhaul may be necessary.
5. Check that the fluid level is at the HOT mark on the oil level gauge. If the fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle
fluid until the level reaches the "HOT" mark.
Auto transaxle fluid:
DIAMOND ATF SP - III, SK ATF SP - III
Quantity : 8.5ℓ (9.0 US qt, 7.5 lmp.qt)
Low fluid level can cause a variety of a abnormal conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along
with fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system forms bubbles, which are compressable. Therefore, pressures
will be erratic, causing delayed shifting ,slipping clutches and brakes, etc. Improper filling can also raise fluid
level too high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and acuise the same conditions
which occur with low fluid level, resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle fluid. In either
case, air bubbles can cause overheating, and fluid oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
brake operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transaxle vent where it may be mistaken
for a leak.
6. Insert the oil level gauge(A) securely.
When new, automatic transmission fluid should be red. The red dye is added so the assembly plant can
identify it as transmission fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye, which is not an
indicator of fluid quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will begin to look
darker. The color may eventually appear light brown.

REPLACEMENT
If you have a fluid changer, use this changer to replace the fluid. If you do not, replace it using the following
procedure.1. Disconnect the hose which connects the transmission and the oil cooler which is within the radiator only in 2.4L
engine(3.3L- the oil cooler is separated).
2. Start the engine and let the fluid drain out.
Running conditions : "N" range with engine idling.
The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is started. If the fluid has all drained out before then,
the engine should be stopped at that point.
3. Romove the drain plug(A) from the bottom of the transmission case to drain the fluid.
4.Install the drain plug via the gasket, and tighten it to the specified torque.
TORQUE :
40~50Nm (4.0~5.0 kgf.m, 29~36 lb - ft)
5. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.
Stop pouring if the full volume of fluid cannot be poured in.
6. Repeat the procedure in step (2).
Check the old fluid for contamination. If it has been contaminated, repeat the steps (5) and (6).
7. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube.
8. Reconnect the hose which was disconnected in step (1) above and firmly replace the oil level gauge.(In case of
this "replace", this means after wiping off any dirt around the oil level gauge, insert it into the filler tube.)
9. Start the engine and run it at idle for 1~2 minutes.
10. Move the select lever through all positions, and then move it to the "N" position.
11. Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70~80°C), and then check the fluid
level again. The fluid level must be at the HOT mark.
12. Firmly insert the oil level gauge(A) into the oil filler tube.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Transmission oil inspection and replacement
1. After parking the vehicle on a plain, stop the engine.
2. After removing the oil filler plug and washer, inspect the manual transaxle fluid condition and quantity.
3. If the manual transaxle fluid is contaminated, drain it out by removing the oil drain plug.
4. Tighten the new oil drain plug and feed manual transaxle fluid to a proper level.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Oil type: SAE75W/85
Oil quantity:
1.9 liter(2.0077 US qt, 1.6718 lmp qt)
5. Retighten the oil filler plug with a new washer.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Back up lamp switch inspection
1.Disconnect the back up lamp switch connector(B).
2.Inspect the continuity of the switch. When the shift lever is located in reverse range, it should be applied an electric
current.
3. Replace the back up lamp switch, if necessary.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)

SMARTRA unit
The SMARTRA carries out communication with the built- in transponder in the ignition key. This wireless
communication runs on RF (Radio frequency of 125 kHz). The SMARTRA is mounted behind of the crush pad under
panel close to the antenna coil for RF transmission and receiving.
The RF signal from the transponder, received by the antenna coil, is converted into messages for serial
communication by the SMARTRA device. And, the received messages from the PCM(ECM) are converted into an RF
signal, which is transmitted to the transponder by the antenna.
The SMARTRA does not carry out the validity check of the transponder or the calculation of encryption algorithm. This
device is only an advanced interface, which converts the RF data flow of the transponder into serial communication to
the PCM(ECM) and vice versa.
TRANSPONDER (Built-in keys)
The transponder has an advanced encryption algorithm. During the key teaching procedure, the transponder will be
programmed with vehicle specific data. The vehicle specific data are written into the transponder memory. The write
procedure is once only; therefore, the contents of the transponder can never be modified or changed.
Antenna coil
The antenna coil (A) has the following functions.a. The antenna coil supplies energy to the transponder.
b. The antenna coil receives signal from the transponder.
