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.

1. Drive the vehicle 30 km (20 miles) or until it reaches normal

operating temperature.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
3. With the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal,

start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear

ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage.

4. Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park) and leave the engine running.
5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag. If

necessary, refer to

Identifying components in the engine

compartment

in this chapter for the location of the dipstick.

6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube.
7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be

in the designated area for normal operating temperature or ambient

temperature.

Low fluid level

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid

level is at the bottom of the dipstick

and the ambient temperature is

above 10°C (50°F).

Correct fluid level

The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating

temperature 66°C-77°C (150°F-170°F) on a level surface. The normal

operating temperature can be reached after approximately 30 km (20

miles) of driving.
You can check the fluid without driving if the ambient temperature is

above 10°C (50°F). However, if fluid is added at this time, an overfill

condition could result when the vehicle reaches normal operating

temperature.
The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at normal operating

temperature (66°C-77°C

[150°F-170°F]).
