Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transmission
fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages
may not be covered by the vehicle’s warranty.
Always use the automatic transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-13.

Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the
Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 7-4. Be sure to use the transmission fluid listed
in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-13.

How to Check Automatic Transmission
Fluid

Notice: Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transmission. Too much can mean that some of the
fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or
exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Too little fluid
could cause the transmission to overheat. Be sure
to get an accurate reading if you check your
transmission fluid.

Before checking the fluid level, prepare the vehicle as
follows:

1. Start the engine and park the vehicle on a level

surface. Keep the engine running.

2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in

P (Park).

3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift

lever through each gear range, pausing for about
three seconds in each range. Then, move the
shift lever back to P (Park).

4. Allow the engine to idle (500 – 800 rpm) for at least

one minute. Slowly release the brake pedal.

5. Keep the engine running and press the Trip/Fuel

button or trip odometer reset stem until TRANS
TEMP (Transmission Temperature) displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC).

6. Using the TRANS TEMP reading, determine and

perform the appropriate check procedure. If the
TRANS TEMP reading is not within the required
temperature ranges, allow the vehicle to cool,
or operate the vehicle until the appropriate
transmission fluid temperature is reached.
