Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle
fluid
to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the
level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to
bring it to
the proper level. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less
than
a pint (OSL). Don’t overfill. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-IIE or DEXRON@-111, because fluids with that
label are made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-IIE or DEXRON@-I11 is not
covered by your
new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all

How To Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator:
Your vehicle is equipped
with a transaxle fluid change indicator. A
“CHANGE TRANS FLUID” message will display on the Information
Center when the power train computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each
100,000 miles (160,000 km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
Turn the key “ON” with the engine stopped.
Press and hold the “OFF” and “REAR DEFOG” buttons on the climate
control simultaneously until the “TRANS FLUID RESET” message
appears in the Information Center (between
5 and 20 seconds).
