Check ATF level by rotating shut-off valve in direction of outlet - lower arrow -.

ATF level is correct when ATF drips out only lightly from outlet before 45°C is reached.

NOTE:

Approx. 5 cl of ATF will initially drain from the internal oil level pipe. This is normal.

If no additional ATF flows out, rotate shut-off valve back in direction of filler hose and fill with more ATF; repeat check of ATF level.
After reaching correct ATF level, remove shut-off valve again.

NOTE:

After removing shut-off valve, ATF drips out lightly.

Replace and tighten ATF check plug.

Tightening torque: 20 Nm.

NOTE:

At the latest at 45°C (50°C for hot countries) the ATF check plug - B - must be installed again.
At an ATF temperature above 45°C, too much ATF flows out due to heat up and the transmission is not filled sufficiently!
