Gear oil level check
To check the gear oil level, use the following
procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied.
2) Clean casing around oil filler plug to
remove risk of any loose dirt or debris
entering oil filler plug hole. Remove the oil
filler plug ©.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your finger.
If the oil level comes up to the bottom of
the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so,
reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through
the filler plug hole © until the oil level
reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then
reinstall the plug.
After driving the vehicle, the
transmission oil temperature may be
high enough to burn you. Wait until the
oil filler plug is cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspecting
transmission oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply sealing
compound to the plug threads to
prevent oil leakage.

Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank,
not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the
coolant level should be between the "FULL"

If the Coolant level is below the "LOW" mark,
more coolant should be added. Remove the
reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the
reservoir tank level reaches the "FULL" mark.
Never fill the reservoir tank above the "FULL"
mark.
