How to Add Fluid
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
while it is 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 one pint (0.5 L). Don't overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON R

made especially for your automatic transmission.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON R
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
