How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross
-
hatched area on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long
-
neck funnel, add enough fluid at
the dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON
R
-
III, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON
R
-
III
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level
as described under “How to Check.”
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained,
push the dipstick back in all the way and turn
the handle clockwise.
How to Reset Transaxle Fluid
Change Indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change
indicator. A CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each 100,000 miles
(160 000 km) interval, whichever occurs first. When this
message appears, change the transaxle fluid and reset
the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
1. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and rear defog buttons
on the climate control system at the same time
until the TRANS FLUID RESET message appears
on the DIC.
