Checking Transmission Fluid Level
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and raise the cargo
bed. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Allow the engine to cool for 5 minutes or more.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in
"MAINTENANCE" section.)

Checking Coolant Level
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is
hot. When cool, slowly rotate cap to the first
stop and allow sufficient time for excess
pressure to escape before removing the cap
completely.

bed.
2. Check to see that the coolant level is between the
"FULL" and "LOW" marks of recovery tank.
3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to the full level.
In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
(See "Flush Cooling System and Changing Coolant" in
"EVERY 2 YEARS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE"
section.)

caution above and securely retighten the cap.
