3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the

lower level. The fluid level must be in the
cross-hatched area.

dipstick back in all the way.

How to Add Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See

Part D:

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-23.

If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the
dipstick.

1. Pull out the dipstick.

2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the

dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.

It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L).

Don’t overfill.

Notice: We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON

®

–III, because fluid with that label is

made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON

®

not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as

described under “How to Check,” earlier in this
section.

4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the

dipstick back in all the way.
