the brake fluid. Seal damage may result.

Automatic Transmission

Fluid Level Check
Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not
required. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted.

If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have
your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.

CAUTION!

Using a transmission fluid other than the manu-

facturer’s recommended fluid may cause deterio-
ration in transmission shift quality and/or torque
converter shudder. Using a transmission fluid
other than that recommended by the manufacturer
will result in more frequent fluid and filter
changes. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genu-
ine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type.

The fluid level is preset at the factory and it does

not require adjustment under normal operating
conditions. If a transmission fluid leak occurs,
visit your authorized dealer immediately. Severe
damage to the transmission may occur. Your au-
thorized dealer has the proper tools to adjust the
fluid level accurately.
