Inspecting Automatic Transaxle
Fluid Level

The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be inspected regularly. Measure it as
described below.

2.5-liter engine

CAUTION

Ø

Always check the automatic
transaxle fluid level according to
the following procedure. If the
procedure is not done correctly,
the automatic transaxle fluid level
cannot be measured accurately
which could lead to automatic
transaxle damage.

Ø

A low fluid level can cause
transaxle slippage. Overfilling can
cause foaming, loss of fluid, and
transaxle malfunction.

Ø

Use only the specified fluid. A non-
specified fluid could result in
transaxle malfunction and failure.

1. Park on a level surface and set the

parking brake firmly.

2. Make sure there is no ATF leakage

from the ATF hose or the housing.

3. Shift the shift lever to the park position

(P), start the engine and warm it up.

CAUTION

Do not shift the shift lever while the
engine is warming up. If the ATF level
is extremely low, the automatic
transaxle could be damaged.
