Checking automatic transmission fluid (every 400 km (250 miles) run or weekly)
AT fluid level should always carefully maintained. Insufficient levels of transmission fluid may cause "slipping" or coming off its transmission with a transmission while the transmission results in an overflow of liquid and foam leaking. | - Cock a lay brake, start the engine and then turn spend the selector lever through all positions, finishing in the position ?�N?� (neutral). Check the transmission fluid level should be carried out on a car parked on level ground and running the engine at idle.
 | The results can not be considered valid if the transmission fluid level check is performed directly after a long trip with high speeds during hot weather in a busy urban cycle, or tow a trailer. In such cases, before proceeding to checkout wait for cooling the transmission fluid (for at least 30 minutes). |
- After the warm-up transmission to normal working temperature, remove from the filler tube probe. The probe is located at the rear of the engine compartment.
 | Dipstick fluid AT is located in the rear of the engine compartment (shown V8 engine, 6-cylinder engines, the probe is on the opposite side). |
- Carefully check the temperature of the liquid to touch the blade of the probe - determine she is warm or hot. Wipe the blade of the probe with a clean cloth and enter the dipstick back into the filler pipe to a complete landing cover.
- Again, remove the dipstick and check the fluid level on it.
- If the liquid is warm to the touch, its level must be between the two bends of the blade of the probe. The level of the hot liquid to be in the area of the shaded part of the blade near the MAX. If you need to make an adjustment of liquid level, topping up directly at the receiver, for the convenience of using a funnel. To raise the level of the bottom of the shaded area to the mark MAX on the dipstick blade in hot transmission requires little more than half a liter of fluid. Topping done gradually, constantly checking the level.
- Simultaneously, the liquid level must also be checked and its condition. If the liquid, wetting the blade end of the probe has a dark reddish-brown color and smell of burning, it must be replaced. In the absence of certainty in determining the state of the fluid, compare its color and smell with specially purchased fresh.
