Fluid Level Check

To check fluid, drive vehicle for at least 5 minutes to bring fluid to operating temperature (122 to 176°F). With vehicle on a level surface and engine idling in Park and parking brake brake applied, move gear selector through all gear positions and return to P position. Dipsticks may be marked with Hot and Cold ranges. Use cold range if fluid is between (86 to 120°F).
