Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the fill
plug. The fluid level should be between the
bottom of the fill hole and a point not more
than 3/16 inch (4.7 mm) below the bottom
of the hole.
Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the
proper level.
Please see your authorized dealer for service.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and
does not require adjustment under normal
operating conditions. Routine fluid level
checks are not required; therefore the trans-
mission has no dipstick. An authorized
dealer can check your transmission fluid
level using special service tools. If you notice
fluid leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit an authorized dealer immediately to
have the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an improper fluid
level can cause severe transmission damage.
Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte -
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
WARNING!
Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact an autho-
rized dealership.
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
