Keep the foot brake depressed |

Apply the handbrake. Start the engine and run it at idling speed. Select D and wait at least 15 seconds. Then select R and wait another 15 seconds. Repeat in position P.
Check the fluid level (engine running at idling speed and selector lever in P). Top up as necessary.
Pay attention to the appearance of the fluid and its odour. If it is turbid or discoloured and/or smells burnt, a change of fluid is advisable even if no complaints have been made about poorer shifting performance or excessive noise.

The dipstick has two level ranges, one for hot oil and one for cold oil. The amount of fluid between the maximum and minimum is about 0.4 litres (0.4 qts). |
