Fluidlevel

Check fluidlevel using dipstick onreservoir cap,orreferring to
the scale onreservoir tank.
Use "HOT" rangeforfluid temperatures of50 to80°C (122to

176°F).

Use "COLD" rangeforfluid temperatures of0to 30°C (32to

86°F).
CAUTION:
• Donot overfill.
• Recommended fluidisAutomatic Transmission Fluid
''DEXRON™,, typeorequivalent.
Checking Fluidleakage

Check thelines forimproper attachment andforleaks, cracks,
damage, looseconnections, chafingordeterioration.
1. Run engine between idlespeed and1,000 rpm.

Make suretemperature offluid inoil tank rises to60 to80°C
(140 to176°F).

2. Turn steering wheelright-to-Ieft severaltimes.
3. Hold steering wheelateach "lock" position forfive seconds
and carefully checkforfluid leakage.

CAUTION:
Do not hold thesteering wheelinalocked position formore
than 15seconds.

4. Iffluid leakage atconnectors isnoticed, loosenflarenutand
then retighten.

Do not overtighten connectorasthis candamage O-ring,
