Checking the Automatic Transaxle
Fluid Level
The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral) posi-
tion and confirm the engine is running
at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi-
ciently (fluid temperature 158~176°F),
for example by 10 minutes usual driv-
ing, move the shift lever through all
positions then place the shift lever in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) position.

Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 8.2 U.S. quarts (7.8 liters).
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal
operating temperature. This means that
the engine, radiator, exhaust system
etc., are very hot so you should exercise
great care not to burn yourself during
this procedure.

3. Confirm if the fluid level is in “HOT”
range on the level gauge. If the fluid
level is lower, add the specified fluid
from the fill hole. If the fluid level is
higher, drain the fluid from the drain
hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold con-
dition (fluid temperature 68~86°F), add
the fluid to the “COLD” line and then
recheck the fluid level according to the
above step 2.
