Inspecting Automatic Transaxle

Fluid Level

The automatic transaxle fluid level should

be inspected regularly. Measure it as

described below.

The volume of fluid changes with the

temperature. Fluid must be checked at idle

without driving at normal operating

temperature.

1. Park on a level surface and set the

parking brake firmly.

2. Idle the engine about two minutes.

Push down on the brake pedal.

3. Move the shift lever through all ranges

and set it at P.

4. With the engine still idling, pull out the

dipstick, wipe it clean, and put it back.

5. Pull it out again.

The proper fluid level is marked on the

dipstick as follows.

Fluid hot scale A

When the vehicle has been driven and the

fluid is at normal operating temperature,

about 65

C (150

F), the level must be

between Full and Low.

Fluid cold scale B

When the engine has not been running

and the outside temperature is about 20

(70

F), the level must be between Full and

Low.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

(ATF)

•

Low fluid level causes transaxle

slippage. Overfilling can cause

foaming, loss of fluid, and transaxle

malfunction.

•

Use specified fluid (page 10-4). A

nonspecified fluid could result in

transaxle malfunction and failure.

CAUTION

Sudden Vehicle Movement:

Shifting the shift lever without first

depressing the brake pedal is

dangerous. The vehicle could move

suddenly and cause an accident.

Make sure the brake pedal is applied

before shifting the shift lever.
