Automatic Transmission (CVT) — If Equipped
Selection Of Lubricant (CVT)
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to
ensure optimum transmission performance and life. Use
only the manufacturer's recommended transmission
fluid which has the special friction coefficient additives
necessary for proper steel belt traction on the drive and
driven pulleys. Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts" in this section for fluid specifications. It is impor-
tant to maintain the transmission fluid at the correct level
using the recommended fluid.
No chemical flushes should be used in any transmission;
only the approved lubricant should be used.
CAUTION!
• Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission
as the chemicals can damage your transmission
components. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-
turer's recommended fluid will cause belt slip and
result in a complete transmission failure! Refer to
"Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in "Main-
taining Your Vehicle" for fluid specifications.
