Then, without shutting off the engine, follow
these steps:
1. Flip the handle up and then pull out the
dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or
paper towel.
The automatic
transmission dipstick
handle with this symbol
on it is located in the
engine compartment on
the passenger’s side
of the vehicle.
See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 332 for more information on location.
2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds
and then pull it back out again.
3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read
the lower level. The fluid level must be in
the COLD area, below the cross-hatched
area, for a cold check or in the HOT or
cross-hatched area for a hot check. Be sure
to keep the dipstick pointed down to get
an accurate reading.
4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range,
push the dipstick back in all the way; then
flip the handle down to lock the dipstick
in place.
