Checking Fluid Level
NOTE:
On AXOD-E transaxle, fluid level should only be checked when fluid is cold.
- Transmission or transaxle must be at normal operating temperature with vehicle on level ground. Apply parking brake, and run engine at curb idle. Shift gear selector lever through all positions, ending in PARK.
- Fluid level should be in crosshatch area on dipstick if checked at operating temperature. If transmission is at room temperature, fluid level should be between two dimples on bottom of dipstick.
- DO NOT overfill. Check condition of fluid for contamination and burned smell. Fully reseat dipstick.
