- Remove the IVTF injection plug (A) and gasket.
- Start the engine to warm up the IVTF.NOTE: Do not step on the brake and accelerator simultaneously to warm up the IVTF.
- Check by using KDS that the temperature of the IVTF is between 45°C - 55°C (113 - 131°F).
- Move the shift lever slowly from "P" to "D", then back to "P". Repeat this sequence two times and then move the shift lever to "P" range.NOTE: Maintain at each speed position for more than 2 sec.

Excessive (abnormal): Over 0.45 liters of IVTF flows out for 2 minutes.
Insufficient (abnormal): 0.15 litres of IVTF flows out for 2 minutes.
NOTE: If the IVTF level is too high or low, follow the instructions below.- Excessive: Drain until the IVTF flows out in a thin oil stream.
- Insufficient: Add until the IVTF flows out in a thin oil stream.
