AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

Checking the automatic

transaxle fluid level

The automatic transaxle fluid level

should be checked regularly.

The volume of the transaxle fluid

changes with temperature. Although

it is best to check the level after hav-

ing driven the vehicle for at least 30

minutes, the level can be checked

after warming the fluid using the fol-

lowing procedure.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground

and firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Allow the engine to idle for about 2

minutes.

3. Depress the brake pedal and

move the shift lever slowly through

all ranges then set it in P (Park).

4. With the engine still idling, pull out

the dipstick, wipe it clean and rein-

sert it fully.

5. Pull out the dipstick again and

check the fluid level.

WARNING

The transaxle fluid level should

be checked when the engine is

at normal operating tempera-

ture. This means that the

engine, radiator, radiator hose

and exhaust system etc., are

very hot. Exercise great care not

to burn yourself during this pro-

cedure.

CAUTION

• Low fluid level causes

transaxle slippage. Overfilling

can cause foaming, loss of

fluid and transaxle malfunc-

tion.

• The use of a non-specified

fluid could result in transaxle

malfunction and failure.

WARNING - Parking brake

To avoid sudden movement of

the vehicle, apply parking brake

and depress the brake pedal

before moving the shift lever.
