Low Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DO NOT DRIVE the vehicle if the fluid level is below the hole at the bottom of the fluid level indicator or not on the fluid level indicator, and the outside temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). A low fluid level could result in poor transmission engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of the transmission seals or gaskets.
