sembled for any reason.

Fluid Level Check
Checking the fluid level while the vehicle is on level
ground and has been stationary for 15 minutes will im-
prove the accuracy of the fluid level reading.
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on the axle.
The fluid level should be 1-2.5 mm below the fill plug. Add
fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level. Refer to
“Fluids And Lubricants” inServicing And Maintenance”
for further information.
Change Axle Fluid
Refer to “Scheduled Servicing” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance” for the proper maintenance intervals.
