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 pro-

vided. Your authorized dealer can check your transmission

fluid level using special service tools. If you notice fluid

leakage or transmission malfunction, visit your authorized

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.

Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the ЉMaintenance ScheduleЉ for the proper

maintenance intervals. In addition, change the fluid and

filter if the fluid becomes contaminated (with water, etc.),

or if the transmission is disassembled for any reason.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped

Lubricant Selection
Use only the manufacturers recommended transmission

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

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
