The transaxle dipstick is located behind the air inlet hose, towards the
firewall.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- The transaxle should be at normal operating temperature when checking
fluid level. To ensure the fluid is at normal operating temperature, drive
the vehicle at least 10 miles.
- With the selector lever in P and the parking brake applied,
start the engine.
- Open the hood and locate the transaxle fluid dipstick. Pull the dipstick
from its tube, wipe it clean, and reinsert it. Make sure the dipstick is
fully inserted.
- Pull the dipstick from its tube again. Holding it horizontally, read the
fluid level. The fluid should be between the MIN and MAX mark. If the fluid
is below the MIN mark, add fluid through the dipstick tube.
- Insert the dipstick, and check the level again after adding any fluid.
Be careful not to overfill the transaxle.
