It is likely that although one judges fluid leakage, there is actually no leakage. This is because the fluid spilt during the last
maintenance was not completely wiped off. Be sure to wipe off spilt fluid thoroughly after maintenance.

*6 Fluid level is specified at optimum position (range) for ordinary use. Accordingly, if the car is used often under hard
conditions such as on very rough roads or in mountainous areas, fluid may bleed out from cap air vent hole. This is not a
problem. If a customer complains strongly and is not likely to be satisfied with the leakage, lower the fluid level to the
extent that fluid will not bleed out under the conditions described, and have the customer check the fluid level and its
quality more frequently than usual.
