Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:

• Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the engine

running.

• With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever

in PARK (P).

• With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift

lever through each gear range, pausing for about

three seconds in each range. Then, position the shift

lever in PARK (P).

• Let the engine run at idle for three minutes or more.

Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps:

The automatic transmission dipstick is located at the

rear of the engine compartment, on the right side of the

vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on

page 5-12 for more information on location.

1. Unclip the handle and remove the dipstick; wipe it

clean with a clean rag or paper towel and re-insert

it fully. Remove it again and read the ﬂuid level.

2. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower

level. The ﬂuid level must be in the COLD area for

a cold check or in the cross-hatched HOT area

for a hot check.

3. If the ﬂuid level is in the acceptable range, push the

dipstick back in all the way.

Remember to always replace the dipstick and lock

the handle down.
