Checking Fluid Levels: Transaxle

NOTE: Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 122-176°F (50-80°C).
  1. Check for fluid leakage.
  2. Warm up engine. With engine warmed up, drive vehicle in an urban area. When ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C), it takes about 10 minutes for the transmission fluid to warm up to 122-176°F (50-80°C).
  3. Park vehicle on a level surface.
  4. Apply parking brake firmly.
  5. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move gearshift lever throughout entire shift range.
  6. Pull out dipstick from CVT fluid fill pipe after pressing the tab on the dipstick to release lock.
  7. Wipe fluid off dipstick and rotate dipstick 180 degrees to securely insert dipstick until it meets the end of the CVT fill pipe.
    CAUTION: Always use paper towels to wipe fluid off dipstick.
  8. Place gearshift lever in "P" or "N" and make sure fluid level is within specified range.
    CAUTION: When CVT fluid dipstick is installed in fill pipe, ensure it is securely locked in place.
