Then, follow these steps:
1. The manual transaxle
dipstick is located
below the brake
master cylinder, near
the rear
of
the
transaxle case. Flip the
handle up and then
pull out the dipstick
and clean it with a rag
or paper towel.
2. Push it back in all the way and remove it.
3. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower
level. The fluid level must be between the ADD and
FULL marks. (Note: Fluid may appear at the bottom
of the dipstick even when the fluid level is several
pints low.)
4. If the fluid level is where it should be, push the
dipstick back in all the way and flip the handle
down. If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as
described in the next steps.
