condition[fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)], add the fluid to the “COLD” line
and then recheck the fluid level according to

Checking the automatic transaxle fluid
level
The automatic transaxle fluid level should be
checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on level ground with the park-
ing brake applied and check the fluid level
according to the following procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral) position
and confirm the engine is running at idle
speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently
[fluid temperature 70~80°C (158~176°F)],
for example by 10 minutes usual driving,
move the shift lever through all positions then
place the shift lever in N(neutral) or P(park)
position.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan, so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases, the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.
