not find a firm, level place off
the road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
 Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.

 Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the
jack.
 Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.

not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground. 7. Place the jack at the front or rear

nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.
9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.

Maintenance
Changing the automatic transaxle fluid
1. Raise and suitably support thevehicle.
2. Remove the drain plug located atthe bottom of the transaxle pan.
3. After the oil has drained complete- ly, install a new washer on the
plug, reinstall the drain plug, andtighten to 2.9~3.4 kgm (21~24lbft, 29~34 Nm).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Remove the automatic transaxle dipstick located near the center of
the engine compartment bulkheadand, using a funnel, add the nec-
essary amount of automatic
transaxle fluid.
Use only the specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to"Recommended Lubricants" later inthis section.)
✽✽ NOTICE
Do NOT overfill the automatic
transaxle reservoir. Doing so cancause a seal “blow out”, loss of fluid,and damage to the transaxle. If you
overfill the reservoir, you must drain
the excess prior to driving the vehi-
cle. It is likely that there will be fluid
left in the transaxle after draining,
especially if the front of the vehicle
was raised to remove the drain plug.
6. Check the fluid level. If necessary, add a small amount of fluid and
check the level again. Continue
this process until the level reads
