maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter if the fluid

becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the trans-

mission is disassembled for any reason.

Fluid Level Check
Checking the fluid level while the vehicle is on level

ground will improve the accuracy of the fluid level

reading.
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on the

axle. The fluid level should be at the bottom of the fill

hole. Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion

Protection Of Body And Paint From Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geo-

graphic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads

passable in snow and ice, and chemicals that are sprayed

on trees and road surfaces during other seasons, are

highly corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside

parking, which exposes your vehicle to airborne contami-

nants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated,

extreme hot or cold weather and other extreme condi-

tions will have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and

underbody protection.
