Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Check
1. | Place the vehicle on a level ground. |
2. | Start the engine to warm up the ATF. |
3. | Check by using KDS/GDS that the temperature of the ATF is between 70°C and 80°C (158 - 176°F). |
4. | Move the shift lever slowly from "P" to "D", then back to "P". Repeat this sequence a total of two times. |
5. | Remove the oil level gauge (A).
 |
6. | Check
that the fluid level is in the "HOT" mark on the oil level gauge. If
fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until the level
reaches the "HOT" mark.
Recommended : - ATF SP-Ⅲ ·Recommended transaxle fluid : SK ATF SP-III, MICHANG ATF SP-III, NOCA ATF SP-III
Capacity : 5.7 L (1.50 U.S gal., 6.02 U.S.qt., 5.02 Imp.qt.) |

contaminated by fine particles from the bushes and friction materials, a
transaxle inpection may be necessary. |
