Park the vehicle on the level ground.

Remove the ATF dipstick (yellow loop) (A), and wipe it with a clean cloth.

Insert the dipstick into the dipstick hole.

Remove the dipstick, and check the ATF level. It should be between the upper mark (A) and the lower mark (B).

If the ATF level is below the lower mark, check for fluid leaks at the transmission, the hoses, and the line joints. If a problem is found, fix it before filling the transmission with ATF.

NOTE: If the vehicle is driven when the ATF level is below the lower mark, one or more of these symptoms may occur:

Transmission damage.

Vehicle does not move in any gear.

Vehicle accelerates poorly, and flares when starting off in forward and reverse positions.

Engine vibrates at idle.

11.

Adjust the parameter setting to 2.4 V.

12.

Test-drive the vehicle again. Accelerate quickly until APP Sensor A reads 2.5 V. Maintain a steady throttle until the transmission shifts to 5th gear (or a reasonable speed), then slow the vehicle and come to a stop.

13.

Save the snapshot if the entire event was recorded or increase the recording time setting as necessary, and repeat step 12.
