outer clutch cover. Access the drain plug through the
left rear wheel well.
2. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the PVT drain
q
plug and O-ring from the outer clutch cover.
3. Allow the water to drain out completely.
4. Reinstall the drain plug and O-ring.
5. Place the transmission in PARK, apply the brake and
start the engine.
6. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the
moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches.
IMPORTANT
Do not hold the throttle pedal wide open for more than 5
seconds.
7. Allow the engine RPM to return to idle, then shift the
transmission into low gear.
8. Test the PVT system for belt slippage. If the belt slips,
repeat the process or remove the outer clutch cover
to inspect the PVT system. Refer to "PVT
Disassembly" page 6.8 procedure.
NOTICE
If the vehicle has ingested a large amount of water into
the PVT system and has not been operated for a period
