towing, police, fleet, taxi, etc., change the
fluid as indicated in the Maintenance Sched-
ule. In addition, change the fluid and filter if
the fluid becomes contaminated (with water,
etc.), or if the transmission is disassembled
for any reason.
Automatic Transmission (CVT) — If
Equipped
Selection Of Lubricant (CVT)
It is important to use the proper transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission perfor-
mance and life. Use only the manufacturer's
specified transmission fluid which has the
special friction coefficient additives neces-
sary for proper steel belt traction on the drive
and driven pulleys. Refer to “Fluids And
Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for
fluid specifications. It is important to main-
tain the transmission fluid at the correct level
using the recommended fluid.
No chemical flushes should be used in any
transmission; only the approved lubricant
should be used.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the
manufacturer’s recommended fluid may
cause belt slip and result in a complete
transmission failure! Refer to “Fluids And
Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications”
for fluid specifications.
Special Additives
The
manufacturer
strongly
recommends
against using any special additives in the
transmission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an
engineered product and its performance may
be impaired by supplemental additives.
Therefore, do not add any fluid additives to
the transmission. The only exception to this
policy is the use of special dyes for diagnos-
ing fluid leaks. Avoid using transmission
sealers as they may adversely affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your trans-
mission as the chemicals can damage your
transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and
does not require adjustment under normal
operating conditions.
Routine fluid level checks are not required,
therefore the transmission filler tube is
capped and no dipstick is provided. Your
authorized dealer can check your transmis-
sion fluid level using special service tools. If
you notice fluid leakage or transmission mal-
function, visit your authorized dealer imme-
diately to have the transmission fluid level
checked. Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe transmis-
sion damage.
