Every 32,000 km or every 2 years.
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine. Apply the parking brake and engage the "P" position. Raise the front end and place it on supports. Remove the transmission fluid level dipstick.
2. Depending on the model, you may need to remove the shield from under the engine to access the transmission drain plug. The plug is located at the base of the transmission case.
3. While taking appropriate safety precautions, if the transmission and engine are hot, place a suitable container under the drain plug.
4. Unscrew the plug.
5. Wipe the plug. When the liquid has drained into the container, replace the plug and tighten it to the required torque.
6. Remove the container and install the shield (if available). Place the vehicle on the ground.
7. Fill the transmission with fluid through the dipstick tube using a funnel.
8. When you have poured in about half of the required amount of liquid, begin to monitor its level. When the level reaches the "MIN" mark, insert the dipstick. The dipstick marks are described in detail in paragraph 6.
9. Start the engine and let it idle. Press the brake pedal and alternately engage all transmission modes, starting and ending with the "P" mode.
10. Let the engine idle for about a minute, and then (when the engine is running in this mode), remove the dipstick.
11. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and reinsert it.
12. Pull out the dipstick again and check the fluid level. It should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If the level is below the "MIN" mark, turn off the engine and add fluid to the transmission.
13. Continue refilling, repeating the check until the required level is reached. Then replace the dipstick.
