TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)

Refer to your service maintenance section for scheduled intervals for
fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly or if you
notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an
accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is at normal operating
temperature (approximately 30 km [20 miles]). If your vehicle has been
operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic during hot
weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be turned off for about 30
minutes to allow fluid to cool before checking.

Refer to your

Service Maintenance Section

for scheduled check and

change intervals.

Transmission does not consume fluid.

Check fluid when transmission is not operating properly or if you see
a leak.

Fluid level must be checked at normal operating temperature, 30 km
(20 miles) of driving.

DO NOT ADD fluid until the transmission is at normal operating
temperatures or the transmission will be overfilled.

To check and add fluid:

1. Drive the vehicle 30 km (20 miles) to reach normal operating

temperatures.

If vehicle was driven in hot weather, city traffic, pulling a trailer, allow
transmission to cool for 30 minutes before checking.

2. Engage parking brake, start engine.

3. Put your foot on the brake pedal and move the gearshift lever slowly

through all of the gear ranges.

4. Shift to P (Park) and leave the engine running.

5. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean with a dry lint free rag.

6. Install and fully seat the dipstick into the filler tube.
