Inspecting Automatic
Transmission Fluid Level

The automatic transmission fluid level
should be inspected regularly. Measure it
as described below.
The volume of fluid changes with the
temperature. For that reason, it is best to
examine the level after having driven the
vehicle for 15 minutes. If necessary,
however, it can also be inspected without
driving when the outside temperature is
above 20°C (70°F).

CAUTION

l

Low fluid level causes transmission
slippage. Overfilling can cause
foaming, loss of fluid, and
transmission malfunction.

l

Use specified fluid (page 10-4). A
nonspecified fluid could result in
transmission malfunction and failure.

l

The vehicle should not be driven if
the fluid level is below the bottom of
the dipstick and the outside
temperature is above 20°C (70°F), or
if evident automatic transmission
fluid leaks are found.

1. Park on a level surface and set the

parking brake firmly.

2. Idle the engine. Push down on the

brake pedal.

3. Move the shift lever through all ranges

and set it at P.
