Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare the vehicle as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on a level place. Keep the

engine running.

2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift

lever in PARK (P).

3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the

shift lever through each gear, pausing for
about three seconds in each one. Then,
position the shift lever in PARK (P).

4. Let the engine run at idle for three to

five minutes.

Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these
steps:

The transmission fluid
dipstick cap has this
symbol on it, and
is located near the front
of the engine
compartment.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 386
for more information on location.

1. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean

rag or paper towel.

2. Reinstall back in all the way, wait

three seconds and then pull it back out
again.

3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the

lower level. The fluid level must be in the
crosshatched area.

4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range,

twist & lock dipstick cap in place.
