Inspecting ATF level
Note
The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
♦
The ATF level is correct, if a small amount of fluid flows out at
♦
the ATF inspection plug when the ATF temperature is between
35 ℃ and 45 °C (in hot countries 50 °C) (caused by the ïn‐
crease of the fluid level due to the heat).
– Run the vehicle on a four-column lift platform or over a work‐
shop pit, so that it will be kept absolutely horizontal.
– Remove the sound dampening system ⇒ Body Work; Rep.
gr. 50 .
– Position drip tray, e.g. -VAS 6208- under the gearbox.
WARNING
♦ When working close to the radiator, always keep an ade‐
quate distance from the radiator fan - risk of injury!
