Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engineered

product and its performance may be impaired by supple-

mental additives. Therefore, do not add any fluid addi-

tives to the transmission. The only exception to this

policy is the use of special dyes for diagnosing fluid

leaks. Avoid using transmission sealers as they may

adversely affect seals.

CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as
the chemicals can damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not

require adjustment under normal operating conditions.

Routine fluid level checks are not required, therefore the

transmission filler tube is capped and no dipstick is

provided.
Your authorized dealer can check your transmission fluid

level using a special service dipstick. If you notice fluid

leakage or transmission malfunction, visit your autho-

rized dealer immediately to have the transmission fluid

level checked. Operating the vehicle with an improper

fluid level can cause severe transmission damage.

CAUTION!

If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your autho-
rized dealer immediately. Severe transmission dam-
age may occur. Your authorized dealer has the proper
tools to adjust the fluid level accurately.
