2. To check the fluid level, place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface. The engine should be idling and the gear selector should be in position "P".
3. Remove the transmission dipstick - it is located under the brake cylinder eye (figure 7.3). Measure the transmission fluid level and note its condition.
4. Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and make sure that. ensure the fluid level is between the dipstick marks (Fig. 7.5). If the level is low, add fluid to the dipstick tube using a funnel.
6. Fill the transmission with the recommended type of fluid. so that its level is between the marks on the dipstick. To raise the level from the lower mark to the upper mark, approximately 0.5 liters of liquid is required. Add liquid in small portions and check its level periodically.
7. At the same time as checking the level, assess the condition of the transmission fluid. If the fluid is black or dark brown in color, or if it has a burnt odor, replace it (see paragraph 27). If you have difficulty determining the condition of the liquid, take fresh liquid and compare them by color and smell.
