The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be inspected regularly. Measure it as

The volume of fluid changes with the

• Low fluid level causes transaxle
slippage. Overfilling can cause
foaming, loss of fluid, and transaxle
malfunction.
• Use specified fluid (page 10-4). A
nonspecified fluid could result in
transaxle malfunction and failure.
