  Note
t  The ATF level is checked at the ATF inspection plug.
t  The ATF level is correct, if a small amount of fluid flows out at the ATF inspection plug when the ATF temperature is between 35° and 45 °C (in hot countries 50 °C) (caused by the ïncrease of the fluid level due to the heat).
–  Fill ATF filling system with ATF for the automatic gearbox 09G.
  WARNING
The ATF filling system must be clean and the ATF must not be mixed with other ATF oils!
–  Attach the reservoir of the ATF filling system as high as possible to the vehicle.
–  Run the vehicle on a four-column lift platform or over a workshop pit, so that it will be kept absolutely horizontal.
–  Remove the sound dampening system → Body Work; Rep. gr.50.
–  Position drip tray, e.g. -VAS 6208- under the gearbox.
  WARNING
t  When working close to the radiator, always keep a distance from the fan - risk of injury!
t  The fan can switch on automatically.
–  Start engine and run in idle.

First of all the ATF in the overflow tube -arrow 2- drains off.
If more ATF drips out of the ATF inspection opening (approx. 1 drop per second) via the overflow tube before the ATF has reached 40°C, the ATF level is correct.
–  Fit ATF inspection plug -arrow 1- with a new gasket ring and tighten to tightening torque → Chapter.
This completes the ATF level inspection.
  Note
At the latest at 45 °C (in hot countries 50 °C) the ATF inspection plug must be closed again.
If no ATF flows out at the ATF inspection opening up to 45 °C, the ATF must be filled up → Chapter.
