Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps:
The automatic transaxle dipstick is located toward the
back of the engine compartment, next to the brake
master cylinder reservoir. The dipstick handle is a red
loop. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12
for more information on location.
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or
paper towel.
2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds, and
then pull it back out again.
3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the
lower level. The fluid level must be in the
cross-hatched area.
4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
How to Add Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12.
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.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Do not overfill.
Notice: Use of automatic transaxle fluid labeled
®
other than DEXRON -III, Approved for the
H-Specification, may damage your vehicle, and the
damages may not be covered by your warranty.
Always use automatic transaxle fluid labeled
®
DEXRON -III, Approved for the H-Specification.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under "How to Check Automatic
Transaxle Fluid," earlier in this section.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
