Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends
against using any special additives in the
transmission.
Transmission fluid is an engineered product
and its performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives. Therefore, do not add
any fluid additives to the transmission. The only
exception to this policy is the use of special dyes
for diagnosing fluid leaks.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does
not require adjustment under normal operating
conditions. Frequent fluid level checks are not
required, but have your authorized dealer check
the fluid level as specified in the Maintenance
Schedule to ensure proper transmission
function and longevity. The transmission has no
dipstick, but your authorized dealer can check
your transmission fluid level using special
service tools. If you notice fluid leakage or
transmission malfunction, visit your authorized
dealer immediately to have the transmission
fluid level checked. Operating the vehicle with
an improper fluid level can cause severe
transmission damage.
Fluid Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid
installed at the factory will provide satisfactory
lubrication for the life of the vehicle. However,
change the fluid if it becomes contaminated
(with water, etc.), or if the transmission is
disassembled for any reason.
RAISING THE VEHICLE
In the case where it is necessary to raise the
vehicle, go to an authorized dealer or service
station.
