!
NOTE:
Automatic transaxle fluid is red in
colour. As driving distance in-
creases, the fluid colour turns dark-
ish red gradually. It is a normal
condition and you should not judge
the need to replace based upon the
changing colour.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with
intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenances schedule in section 5.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level must be
checked with the engine running
and at normal operating tempera-
ture and therefore care must be ex-
ercised to prevent injury occurring
through contact with rotating or hot
parts of the engine.

Checking the automatic
transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground
with the parking brake applied and
check the fluid level according to the
following procedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neu-
tral) position and confirm the engine
is running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently (fluid temperature
70~80°C (158~176°F)), for example
by 10 minutes usual driving, shift
the selector lever through all posi-
tions then place the selector lever in
N (Neutral) or P (Park) position.

Fluid level should be within "HOT"
range
3. Confirm that the fluid level is in
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If
the fluid level is lower, add the
specified fluid from the fill hole. If
the fluid level is higher, drain the
fluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD”
line and then recheck the fluid level
according to the above step 2.
