4.
Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower
level. The fluid level must be in the cross-hatched
area.
If the fluid level is where it should be, 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 "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
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. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than a
pint. Don't overfill. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRONa-IIE, because fluids with that label
are made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRONs-IIE
is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
