TRANSAXLE FLUID
Checking automatic transaxle fluid
Do not use supplemental transaxle fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials or transaxle fluids
other than the recommended fluid, may affect transaxle operation
and result in damage to internal transaxle components.
Refer to yourScheduled Maintenance Guidefor scheduled intervals for
fluid changes. Your transaxle does not consume fluid. However, the fluid
level should be checked if the transaxle is not working properly, i.e., if
the transaxle slips, takes more than a couple of seconds to engage into
Drive/Reverse or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
It is recommended that a qualified technician check fluid level
and add fluid if required.
If your transaxle has a low fluid condition sufficient to affect proper
operation the transaxle control module will send a signal to illuminate
the
on the instrument panel.
As long as the transaxle engages normally to drive or reverse, it is safe
to drive but if the
illuminates the vehicle should be taken to your
dealer for evaluation as soon as possible.
If your transaxle does not engage normally, do not attempt to
drive. The vehicle should be towed to your dealer for evaluation.
