or service the automatic
transmission fluid. When
performing your own
inspections, always use the
H (HOT) range after
warming up the vehicle.
The fluid must be hot to
ensure an accurate check.
The fluid level rises as

the specified fluid through the

whether there are no fluid
leaks.

yourself when checking the oil

high. Protect yourself with
gloves etc.

Discarded parts, oil, grease and
fluids could have an adverse effect
on the environment. It is difficult to
dispose of these, so have your
dealer handle all checks and
replacements.
