A/T Fluid Check
Check fluid leakage, fluid level, fluid leakage, and fluid amount.
Check the amount under the HOT condition (fluid at 70~80°C(158~176°F) with following methods.
- Do urban driving for approx. 10 minutes after the engine is warmed up (When ambient temperature is 20°C(68°F), fluid temperature reaches 70~80°C(158~176°F) after approximately 10 minutes of driving.)
- Park the vehicle on level ground.
- Apply the parking brake.
- While the engine is idling, move the select lever slowly from "P" to "D" when depressing the brake pedal.
- Check if the fluid level is within the specified range on the fluid level gauge (the HOT side) in P or N ranges.CAUTION:
- When it is required to check the fluid level at low fluid temperature (20~30° C(68~86° F)) including fluid exchange, adjust to COLD level of the level gauge and then be sure to verify the fluid level under the above HOT condition.
- Use paper waste to wipe fluid on the fluid level gauge.
- Make sure to fix the fluid level gauge on the charging pipe with a stopper.
