! Checking the fluid level when the
fluid is cold
When the fluid level has to be checked
without time to warm up the automatic

level on the "COLD" range. If it is below
that range, add fluid up to the upper level.
Be careful not to overfill.

Be careful not to spill automatic
transmission fluid when adding it.
If automatic transmission fluid

fire. If automatic transmission fluid
gets on the exhaust pipe, be sure to
wipe it off.
