Execution order
1. Start the engine until the gearbox warms up to a temperature of 60-70°C.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal and move the selector lever sequentially from position N to all positions, then set it to position N, holding the lever in each position for no more than 3 seconds.
4. Before removing the dipstick, wipe off any dirt from the area around the dipstick. Remove the dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid. Check the color of the automatic transmission fluid. Check the automatic transmission fluid for unusual odors. Compare the fluid to fresh fluid to determine if the color or odor has changed.
5. Check the fluid level, which should be between the HOT marks. If necessary, add the required amount of the required fluid.
Automatic transmission fluid type: GENUINE DIAMOND ATF SP–II
Low fluid levels can cause many problems because air gets into the fluid and the mixture of fluid and air becomes compressible, causing erratic pressure changes and failure of clutches and band brakes.
Also, the elevated fluid level causes the rotating gears of the transmission to whip up foam, which has the same results as air getting into the transmission fluid.
