Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles

(24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F

(10°C). If it is colder than 50°F (10°C), drive the vehicle

in 3 (Third) until the engine temperature gage moves

and then remains steady for 10 minutes.

A cold ﬂuid check can be made after the vehicle has

been sitting for eight hours or more with the engine off,

but this is used only as a reference. Let the engine

run at idle for ﬁve minutes if outside temperatures are

50°F (10°C) or more. If it is colder than 50°F (10°C), you

may have to idle the engine longer. Should the ﬂuid

level be low during this cold check, you must check the

ﬂuid hot before adding ﬂuid. Checking the ﬂuid hot

will give you a more accurate reading of the ﬂuid level.

Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:

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

running.

2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever

in P (Park).

3. 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 P (Park).

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

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

The transmission dipstick

handle with this graphic is

located at the rear of

the engine compartment,

on the passenger’s

side of the vehicle.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-14 for

more information on location.

1. Flip the handle up and then pull out the dipstick

and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.

2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and

then pull it back out again.
