[Inspection and replenishment]
• Park the vehicle on level ground, make sure that the parking brake is
fully activated and chock the wheels to keep them from rolling.
• Start the engine and let it idle. To fill the hydraulic circuit with auto-
matic transmission fluid, shift the range selector lever from N

N. Repeat this process five times, finally shifting to N.
• While the engine is still idling, pull out dipstick 1 and wipe off the fluid
sticking to it. Reinsert the dipstick, then pull it out again and check the
fluid level.
• If the fluid level is inspected right after the engine is started and the
fluid temperature is still low (approximately 15 to 49
°
C {60 to 120
°
F}),
the level should be within area A marked COLD on dipstick 1.
• If the fluid level is inspected after the vehicle has been driven and the
fluid temperature is high (approximately 71 to 93
°
C {160 to 200
°
F}),
the level should be within area B marked HOT on dipstick 1.
WARNING
–
Take care during the inspection because the engine will be run-
ning. Take sufficient care to avoid burns or injuries resulting
from contact with moving parts.
NOTE
• Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground when you are
checking the fluid level.
• Make sure the range selector lever is in the N position and the
engine is idling when you are checking the fluid level. When the
engine is stopped, the fluid level appears higher than it actually
is.
• Be sure to wipe off the dust from the safety cap and the upper
part of dipstick guide 2 before you pull out dipstick 1.
• To ensure the fluid is correct, reinspect the fluid level after an
actual drive.
• If the fluid level is low, add automatic transmission fluid (DEXRON or
DEXRON II type) through dipstick guide 2 until the correct level on
dipstick 1 is reached.
