AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Transaxle fluid
The transaxle  fluid level  should be
checked when the  engine is at nor-
mal   operating   temperature.   This
means   that  the   engine,  radiator,
radiator  hose and  exhaust  system
etc.,  are  very  hot.   Exercise  great
care not to burn yourself during this
procedure.

range  on the  level gauge.  If the  fluid
level  is lower,  add  the specified  fluid
from  the  fill hole.  If  the  fluid level  is
higher,  drain the  fluid  from  the drain
hole.

shift   slippage.   Overfilling    can
cause foaming,  loss  of fluid  and
transaxle malfunction.

should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake  applied and check the
fluid level according  to the following pro-
cedure.
•  The  use of  a  non-specified  fluid
could result in transaxle malfunc-
tion and failure.

If the fluid level is checked in cold con-
dition   (fluid    temperature    68~86°F
(20~30°C)
add the fluid to “COLD” line

vehicle,  apply   parking  brake  and
depress   the   brake  pedal   before
moving the shift lever.

After the transaxle is warmed  up suffi-
ciently  (fluid  temperature  158~176°F
