Attention: The check must be carried out on an automatic transmission warmed up to working temperature (60°С). At temperatures above or below the operating temperature, the fluid level may be above or below the normal level (thermal expansion of ATE fluid).
Therefore, correct measurement results are only achieved in the specified temperature range.
Warm up the engine (the oil temperature in the gearbox should be approximately 60°C).
Park the unladen vehicle on level ground.
Set the gearshift lever to position P (neutral), apply the parking brake.
During the test, the engine must be running at idle.
Remove the oil dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth, preferably a piece of leather. Then fully insert the rod, pull it out again and read the reading.
In a heated gearbox, the fluid level should be at the mark «NOT» on the measuring rod.
If a drop in the liquid level is detected, check the leaks from the outside and, if any, eliminate them.
The liquid is poured through a clean funnel with a fine mesh.
Caution: Do not overfill liquid. If too much liquid is filled in, malfunctions in the operation of automation may occur. When overflowing liquid, it is imperative to drain or suck out excess liquid with a syringe or pear.
At the same time, check the old fluid on the dipstick for smell and color. Burnt pads give off a burnt smell. Contaminated fluid can lead to malfunctions in the operation of the box.
All permitted liquids may be mixed. Do not use any additives or additives.
If the gearbox is not filled with fluid, it is forbidden to start the engine, and also tow the car.
After checking or topping up the fluid, insert the oil dipstick.
Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever slowly through all positions.
