On-Vehicle Inspection

HINT:

Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature.

Fluid temperature: 

70 to 80°C (158 to 176°F) 

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
2. With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever into all positions from P to L and return to the P position.
3. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
4. Push it back all the way.
5. Pull it out again and check that the fluid level is within the HOT range.

   If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings, FIPGs, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
