Inspection
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
2. Use solvent and a brush to wash any oil and dirt off the differential fluid filler plug, and dry them with compressed air.
3. Remove the filler plug (A) and the sealing washer (B), then check the condition of the fluid, if the fluid is dirty or burnt, replace it.
4. Make sure the fluid is at the proper level (C). If the level is below the proper level, check for fluid leaks at the differential. If a problem is found,
fix it before filling the differential with fluid.

plug with a new sealing washer.
