DESCRIPTION
The automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) level must be checked during Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). Low ATF level may cause the following driveability conditions:
- Engine "flare" during the 2-3 shift (engine speed increases during the shift) at light throttle when the ATF is cold.
- Harsh or delayed shift during acceleration from a stop following a rapid deceleration.
PROCEDURE
- Drive the vehicle until the ATF temperature is at normal operating temperature 70-100°C (158-212°F).
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the Parking Brake. Start the engine and move the shift lever through each gear, then to "Neutral" (do not check ATF level in the Park position as this may result in an incorrect reading). See Fig 1 .
- Check the ATF level on the dipstick. Add ATF until the level is within the "HOT" range. See Fig 2 .
NOTE:
The ATF level can be accurately checked only if the ATF temperature is at normal operating temperature 70-100°C (158-212°F).
