NOTICE:
* Keep the transaxle fluid temperature at 5°C (41°F) or higher.
* Stop the vehicle on a flat road.
* Recheck the transaxle fluid level after driving when exchanging transaxle fluid.
* Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may be the cause of some trouble.
* Be sure to add fluid slowly. If fluid is added quickly, the fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in fluid coming out of the filler plug opening.
* Be sure to fully insert the filler nozzle into the filler plug opening.

(d) Add transaxle fluid until the transaxle fluid level is between 0 and 5 mm (0 and 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening (step 1).

NOTICE:
* Keep the transaxle fluid temperature at 5°C (41°F) or higher.
* Stop the vehicle on a flat road.
* Recheck the transaxle fluid level after driving when exchanging transaxle fluid.
* Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may be the cause of some trouble.
* Be sure to add fluid slowly. If fluid is added quickly, the fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in fluid coming out of the filler plug opening.
* Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.

(e) After adding fluid, leave it for 30 seconds so that the fluid surface can become still again, and then check that the fluid level is between 0 and 5 mm (0 and 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid is insufficient, return to the step 1.)

(f) Check for leaks if the quantity of transaxle fluid is low.

(g) Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket.
