Note
The stipulated fluid level (3) is extremely import-
ant to perfect functioning of the automatic trans-
mission. It is correct if there is still a slight
amount of ATF escaping at the filler screw (2)
hole at temperatures between 30 DC and 40 DC.

Testing conditions:
-The transmission must not be in the reduced
driving program.
2. Fill up with the prescribed oil type. The fluid
level must be up to the lower edge of the filler
opening in this case.
The ATF temperature must be between
30 DC and 45 DC.
An ATF inspection at an insufficient ATF tem-
perature causes over-filling and an inspection
at an excessive ATF temperature causes in-
sufficient filling.
3. Replace the toroidal sealing ring for the plug
and tighten the screw with 30 Nm (22 ftlb,),
