9 Warning
Engine oil is an irritant and, if
ingested, can cause illness or
death.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin.
Wash exposed areas with soap
and water or hand cleaner.
Be very careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot enough
to burn you!
Automatic transmission
fluid
To ensure proper functioning,
efficiency, and durability of the
automatic transmission, be sure to
keep the transmission fluid at the
proper level. Too much or too little
fluid can cause problems.
The fluid level must be checked with
the engine running and the selector
lever in P (Park). The vehicle must be
up to normal operating temperature
and parked on level ground.
The normal operating temperature for
the fluid (70°C ~ 80°C) will be reached
after driving.
Checking automatic
transmission fluid level
If the fluid is contaminated or
discolored after inspection, change
the automatic transmission fluid.
Use only the fluid specified in the fluid
chart in this manual.
Decrease in the fluid level indicates a
leak in the automatic transmission. If
noted, consult a workshop to repair
the problem as soon as possible. We
recommend your authorised
workshop.
Caution
Take care not to let dirt or foreign
materials contaminate the
transmission fluid.
Contaminated fluid can cause a
severe malfunction of the
automatic transmission, leading to
costly repairs.
1. Start the engine.
2. Warm up until the temperature of
the automatic transmission fluid
reaches approximately 70°C ~
80°C .
