Check the fluid level through the reser-
voir. If necessary, add automatic trans-
mission fluid DEXRONrII or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80
km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60_C—80_C or 140_F—175_F). You
may also check the level when the fluid
is cold (about
10_C—30_C or 50_F—85_F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours.
