Check Fluid Level and Condition

CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is low or internal failure can result.

NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, city traffic, hot weather, or pulling a trailer, the fluid needs to cool down 30 minutes to obtain an accurate reading.

This vehicle is not equipped with a fluid level indicator. An incorrect level may affect the transmission operation and could result in transmission damage. To correctly check and add fluid to the transmission, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK .
