Checking Fluid Level
NOTE:
Transmission must be at normal operating temperature when checking fluid level. One pint of fluid will raise level from ADD 1 PT. or .5L to FULL mark on dipstick with transmission at normal temperature. DO NOT overfill.
- With vehicle parked on a level surface and engine at idle, move gearshift lever through all gear positions, ending in Park. Remove dipstick, wipe clean and check fluid level. Fluid level should be between ADD 1 PT. and FULL marks on dipstick.
- If vehicle has been driven for an extended period of time at high speed, in city traffic or pulling a trailer, an accurate fluid level cannot immediately be determined. Allow transmission to cool for about 30 minutes after vehicle is parked, then recheck fluid level. Add appropriate fluid as needed. See RECOMMENDED FLUID .
