Low fluid level

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid

level is at the bottom of the dipstick

and the outside temperatures are

above 10°C (50°F).

Correct fluid level

The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating

temperatures 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.

The transmission fluid should be in

the crosshatch zone if at normal

operating temperature (66°C-77°C

[150°F-170°F]).

High fluid level

Fluid levels above the

crosshatch zone may result in

transaxle failure. An overfill

condition of transmission fluid

may cause shift and/or

engagement concerns and/or

possible damage.

High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition.

Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of

fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the

Lubricant specifications section in this chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause

internal transaxle component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 250 mL (1/2 pint) increments through the filler

tube until the level is correct.

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid

should be removed by a qualified

technician.

An overfill condition of

transmission fluid may cause

shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.
