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@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-111
is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
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
OW
and rear defog buttons on the
climate control at the same time until the TRANS
FLUID
RESET
message appears on the DIC.
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.
