NOTICE
If you spill some of the fluid, be sure
to wipe it off to prevent it from dam-
aging the parts or paintwork.

Check the fluid level on the dipstick. If
necessary, add automatic transmission
fluid DEXRON \bII or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80
km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60 C–80 C or 140 F–175 F). You
may also check the level when the fluid
is cold (about room temperature,
10 C–30 C or 50 F–85 F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours. Clean all dirt from outside of the reservoir
tank and look at the fluid level. If the fluid
is cold, the level should be in the “COLD”
range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level
should be in the “HOT” range. If the level
is at the low side of either range, add
automatic transmission fluid DEXRON
\bII
or III to bring the level within the range.
To remove the reservoir cap, turn it coun-
terclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it,
turn it clockwise. After replacing the filler
cap, visually check the steering box case,
vane pump and hose connections for
leaks or damage.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Fluid capacity (drain and refill), L (qt.,
Imp.qt.) Up to 3.0 (3.2, 2.6)
Fluid type: “Toyota Genuine ATF WS”
Change automatic transmission fluid
only as necessary.
Generally, it is necessary to change au-
tomatic transmission fluid only if your
vehicle is driven under one of the Spe-
cial Operating Conditions listed in your
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner ’s Manual Supplement”. When
changing the automatic transmission
fluid, use only “Toyota Genuine ATF
WS” (ATF JWS3324 or NWS9638) to aid
in assuring maximum transmission per-
formance.
Notice: Using automatic transmission
fluid other than “Toyota Genuine ATF
WS” may cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmis-
sion accompanied by vibration, and
ultimately damage the automatic
transmission of your vehicle. TRANSFER
