Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Add Fluid
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@-111, because fluid with that label is made
especially
for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other
than DEXRON@-111
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
0 After adding fluid, recheck the fluid lcvel as described under “How to
Check.”
0 When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way.
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 powertrain computer determines that the transaxle fluid
needs to be changed or at each
100,000 miles (160 000 krn) interval,
whichever occurs first. When
this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator
as follows:
1. Turn the key ON with the engine stopped.
2. 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 five and 20 seconds).
