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.

during topping up or inspection, or a fire may occur.
