NOTE:
- The ATF level is checked at the ATF check and fill hole.
- The ATF level is correct if a small amount of fluid drips out of the inspection and fill opening (this is normal as the fluid expands as it heats up) at an ATF temperature between 35° and 45°C (113°F)
WARNING:
Danger of eye injury.
- Wear protective eyewear.
- As soon as an ATF temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) is reached, remove the plug -B- on the inspection and fill hole or open the plugs.
- If necessary let any excess ATF run out.
If the ATF starts to drip out of the inspection and fill hole before it reaches 45°C (113°F), then the ATF level is OK.

- Switch off the engine and let the transmission cool down to 35°C (95°F).
If no ATF drips out of the inspection and fill hole before it reaches 45°C (113°F), fill the ATF:
