How to Add Fluid
All-Wheel Drive
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transmission fluid to use. See "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
HOT. (A COLD check is used only as a reference.) If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level up to the HOT area for a hot
check. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than a
pint (0.5 L). Don't overfill. We recommend you use only
fluid labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that
label is made especially for your automatic transmission.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-I11 is not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.

When to Check Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often to check the lubricant. See "Periodic Maintenance
Inspections" in the Index.
How to Check Lubricant
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under "How to Check."
When the correct
fluid
level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way; then flip the handle
down
to
lock the dipstick in place.
If
the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you'll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
