Always recheck the fluid level.
Consistent readings are important
for proper maintenance. If read-
ings are inconsistent, see your
dealer.
Add the fluid only after checking
the transmission fluid while it is
hot. A cold check is used only as a
reference. If the level is low, add
enough fluid to bring it up into the
cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
See the "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" chart later in this
section to determine what kind of
fluid to use.
NOTICE
Using the wrong kind of fluid
could damage system compo-
nents. Always use the recom-
mended fluid.
Damage caused by the use of
any fluid that is not recom-
mended is not covered by your
new vehicle warranty.
When adding fluid, be careful not
to overfill.
Generally, less than 0.5 L of fluid is
needed.
Section 4
CAUTION
When you add fluid to the
automatic transmission, make
sure not to overfill it. Overfilling
will result in leakage on hot
engine parts, and might start a
fire.
NOTICE
Too much or too little fluid can
damage your transmission.
NOTICE
Too little fluid could cause the
transmission to overheat.
