The top left illustration on the reservoir of the filling device VAS 5162 indicates that only special ATF can be used for the CVT transmission.

-

The other illustrations show how to fill the transmission. The necessary steps are described.

CAUTION! 
^

The engine must not be started if there is only very riffle or no ATF in the transmission, e.g. following repair work or if a large amount of ATF
has been discharged.

^

If this is the case, the transmission must first be filled with 4.5 to 5 liters of ATF.

Test requirements:
-

Transmission must not be in emergency running mode.

-

Vehicle must be on a flat surface.

-

Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 must be connected. Vehicle self-diagnosis and vehicle system "02. Transmission
electronics" must be selected.

-

Engine must be idling.

-

Air conditioner and heater must be switched off.

-

When testing is started, ATF temperature must not be higher than 30° C. If necessary, allow transmission to cool down first.

Notes: 
^

The ATF level changes as the ATF temperature in crease side creases.

^

Checking the ATF level when the ATF temperature is too low will result in overfilling.

^

Checking the ATF level when the ATF temperature is too high will result in under filling.

^

Both overfilling and under filling will prevent the transmission from functioning correctly.

^

The ATF temperature is read off at the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
