10. NOTE: In order to get an accurate transmission fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface. Idle the engine to reach the normal
operating temperature. Using the scan tool, verify that the transaxle is at normal operating temperature 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F), prior to
adjusting the transmission fluid level.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission fluid fill plug located on the
top of the transaxle near the transmission fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. Install the transmission fluid level indicator
back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the transmission fluid lever indicator. The transmission fluid level
should be at the upper most mark on the transmission fluid level indicator. Only fill to the upper most mark on the transmission fluid indicator. Do
not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.
11. NOTE: The correct transmission fluid at normal operating temperature of 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F), is between the top 2 marks on the fluid
level indicator.
