Under normal conditions, the transmission fluid is
filled for the service life of the transaxle and does
not need to be changed.
Under high loads (driving with a trailer or in
mountains etc.) it may be necessary to change the
transmission fluid.
To drain the transmission fluid, remove the fluid
drain plug.
Proceed as follows when topping off the
transmission fluid:
• Remove the return line from the fluid cooler to the transaxle on the transaxle. Close off the
connection on the transaxle using a plastic plug.
• Join the return line to a transparent pipe. The transparent pipe ends in the fluid reservoir in
order to collect the fluid.
• To top off the transmission fluid, insert a transparent pipe in the guide tube of the dipstick
and add approx. 2.0 liters of transmission fluid. • Move the selector lever to the 'P' position and
allow the engine to run at idle speed.
• Switch off the engine if air bubbles become visible in the transparent pipe to the fluid
reservoir.
• Top off approx. 2 liters of transmission fluid and allow the engine to run at idle speed. Switch off
the engine if air bubbles become visible in the
transparent pipe to the fluid reservoir.
• Top up the transmission fluid until the fluid level for cold fluid is indicated on the dipstick in the
middle between 'MIN' and 'MAX'.
• Then check the transmission fluid level.
Refer to the service literature for the exact
procedure and specifications.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid has been changed,
the counter for fluid change intervals must be reset
using IDS.
