the lower level. The fluid level must be in the
cross-hatched area.
4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See Part D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-16 .
5-22
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the
dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0,5 L). Don't overfill.
Notice: We recommend you use only fluid labeled
®
DEXRON –III, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under "How to Check," earlier in this
section.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
