Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:
D Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the

engine running.

D With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever

in PARK (P).

D With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift

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

D Let the engine run at idle for three minutes or more.

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

Locate the handle with
the transmission and lock
symbols for the automatic
transmission dipstick in
the engine compartment
on the passenger’s side
of the vehicle.

See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index for
more information on location.

1. Flip the handle up and then pull out the dipstick and

wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.

2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and

then pull it back out again.
