It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership service department and have it repaired as soon as possible.

Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services , and be sure to use the transaxle fluid listed in Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants .

Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transaxle fluid may damage your vehicle, and the damages may not be covered by your warranty. Always use the automatic transaxle fluid listed in Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants .
