Add 4.7 liters (5 qts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.
4. Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
5. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66 - 77°C (150 - 170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid

Transmission Fluid Level Check
Transmission Fluid Level Check
CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level indicator shows the fluid below the DO NOT DRIVE mark or internal failure could
result.
NOTE: If vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, in city traffic, in hot weather or when pulling a trailer, the
fluid needs to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: The fluid level reading on the indicator will differ from operating and ambient temperatures. The correct reading should be within the normal
operating temperature range.
Under normal circumstances, the fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or has signs
of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be checked.
1. With the transmission in (P) PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move the range selector lever through each gear and allow
engagement of each gear. Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the fluid level indicator cap and remove the indicator.
3. Wipe the indicator with a clean cloth.
