WARNING
!●Turn off the ignition on both vehicles beforehand.
Use care to make sure that the cables or your clothes
are never caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal
injury could result.
WARNING
!●If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or appears to be fro-
zen, Do Not Attempt Jump Starting!

ture is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to
the proper level.

jack, place a chock or block (A) at the tyre that is diago-
nally opposite from the tyre (B) you are changing.
NOTE●The chock shown in the illustration does not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the
vehicle for use if needed.
●If a chock is not available, use a stone or any other object
that is large enough to hold the wheel in position.

8 Automatic transmission fluid
*
E01000600134
The proper amount of automatic transmission fluid is essential
to the life and operation of the automatic transmission. Either
insufficient fluid or excessive fluid could cause transmission
trouble. The transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with
a dipstick. Use the following procedure to check the fluid level.Procedure for checking the fluid level 1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle has been driven
enough to warm up the transmission fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and apply the
parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake pedal fully
depressed, move the transmission selector lever through
all the positions from the “P” (PARK) to “D” (DRIVE),
stopping momentarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean lint-free
cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.7. Remove dipstick and read the oil level.
The fluid level should always be between the two marks
on the dipstick.
Recommended fluidUse only “DIA QUEEN ATF SP III” transmission fluid to
ensure optimum transmission performance.
WARNING
!●Do not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust manifold
during topping up or inspection, or a fire may occur.

The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting
of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical
system. Regular inspection and care are especially important in
cold weather.NOTE●After replacing the battery, the electronic control system
data for the automatic transmission, etc., will be erased.
As a result, shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after several changes
in speed.
●Memory data for settings made by the user may be erased
when the battery is replaced. If this happens, establish the
settings again using the relevant procedures.
