Transmission Fluid Level Check
E126079
WARNING: Beware, risk of scalding when
checking the transmission fluid.
NOTE: Refer to the service literature for the exact
procedure and specifications.
In order for the transaxle to function properly, it is
vital that the transmission fluid level is correct. If the transmission fluid level is excessively low, this
becomes noticeable by a rattling noise at the fluid
pump, etc.
Always use transmission fluid to the indicated
specification (WSS-M2C924-A).
The transmission fluid temperature is determined
using IDS.
It must be ensured that the transmission fluid
temperature is within the range specified in the
workshop literature.
The following conditions must be met in order to
carry out the transmission fluid level check
correctly:
• Ensure that the transaxle is not in limp home
mode.
• Place the vehicle on a level surface.
• Move the selector lever to the 'P' position.
• Make sure that the parking brake is fully applied.
• Run the engine at idle speed.
• Move the transmission selector lever to all positions. In doing so, wait until the transmission
engages the corresponding range.
• Move the selector lever back to the 'P' position.
• Pull out the fluid dipstick.
When the predetermined transmission fluid
temperature is reached, the fluid level shown on
the dipstick must be in the middle between 'MIN'
and 'MAX'. In this case, the fluid level is correct.

The transaxle features three clutches, five brakes,
and two one-way clutches.
The clutches are designed as multi-plate clutches.
There are four multi-plate brakes (B1, B2, B3, B5)
and one band brake (B4).
Tasks of clutches and brakes
• 1st-5th gear clutch (C1) : Connects the input
side with the ring gear.
• 5th gear and reverse clutch (C2) : Connects
the input side with the sun gear.
• 4th and 5th gear clutch (C3) : Connects the
sun gear with the front planetary gear carriers
on the output side. •
2nd-4th gear brake (B1) : Locks the sun gear
on the input side.
• 2nd-5th gear brake (B2) : Locks the rotational
movement of the sun gear on the input side in
a counterclockwise direction.
• Reverse gear brake (B3) and 1st gear brake
in select-shift mode : Locks the ring gear on
the input side.
• 3rd gear brake (B4) (band brake) : Locks the
two sun gears on the output side.
• 1st and 2nd gear and reverse gear brake
(B5) : Locks the rear planetary gear carriers on
the output side.

The transmission input shaft rotates in the

input side are deactivated and no power is
transmitted to the planetary gear sets.
No force is transferred to the output shaft. The
brake B5 (2) locks the rear planetary gear carrier
on the output side. The parking lock (1) is not
activated. Since the transaxle input shaft is not
positively connected with the input side, the vehicle
will start to roll away if it is on an incline. The brake B5 is activated both in 'P' and in 'N'
position to reduce the cut-in pressure that
otherwise occurs if several brakes and clutches
are activated simultaneously when the selector
lever is moved to 'D' or 'R' position. Since the brake
B5 is activated both in first and second as well as
in reverse gear, this method reduces the total
number of transient effects.
