q Inspecting Automatic Transaxle
Fluid Level
The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be inspected regularly. Measure it as
described below.
2.3-liter engine
CAUTION
lAlways check the automatic
transaxle fluid level according to the
following procedure. If the
procedure is not done correctly, the
automatic transaxle fluid level
cannot be measured accurately
which could lead to automatic
transaxle damage.
lA low fluid level can cause transaxle
slippage. Overfilling can cause
foaming, loss of fluid, and transaxle
malfunction.
lUse only the specified fluid. A non-
specified fluid could result in
transaxle malfunction and failure.
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake firmly.
2. Make sure there is no ATF leakage from the ATF hose or the housing.
3. Shift the shift lever to the park position (P), start the engine and warm it up.
