Check
NOTICE:
The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low. Internal failure could result.
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at
high highway speeds, in city traffic, during hot weather or while
pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid must cool down to obtain an
accurate reading.
NOTE:
If a new transmission fluid cooler or new fluid cooler
tubes have been installed, drive the vehicle to warm the transmission
fluid to 96ºC-101ºC (206ºF-215ºF) in order to purge the air from the
transmission fluid cooling system.
