The fluid level will drop slowly as

the brakes wear, and will rise when

the brake components are replaced.

Fluid levels between the “MIN” and

“MAX” lines are within the normal

operating range; there is no need to

add fluid. If the fluid levels are

outside of the normal operating

range the performance of your

brake system could be

compromised; seek service from your dealer immediately.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)

Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled

intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transaxle does not consume

fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the transaxle is not

working properly, i.e., if the transaxle slips or shifts slowly or if you

notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an

accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is warmed up

(approximately 20 miles [30 km]). If your vehicle has been

operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic

during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be

turned off for about 30 minutes to allow fluid to cool before

checking.

1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) or until it reaches normal operating

temperature.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

3. With the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal,

start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear

ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage.

4. Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park) and leave the engine running.

5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag. If

necessary, refer to Identifying components in the engine compartment

in this chapter for the location of the dipstick.

6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in

the crosshatch zone for normal operating temperature.
