re-checked using the HOT range.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
set the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and then move the se-
lector lever through each gear range,
ending in P.
3. Check the fluid level with the engine
idling.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean
with lint-free paper.
5. Re-insert the dipstick into the charging
pipe as far as it will go.
6. Remove the dipstick and note the read-
ing. If the level is on the low side of either
range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
CAUTION
● DO NOT OVERFILL.
● Use ONLY NISSAN Matic ‘D’ (Conti-
nental U.S. and Alaska) or genuine

a trailer, the fluid level cannot be read
accurately. You should wait until the
fluid has cooled down (about 30 min-
utes).
