How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick. 1. Pull out the dipstick. 2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.5 L). Don't overfill. 3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under "How to Check." 4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way and turn the handle clockwise. Reinstall the engine air cleaner/filter assembly. How to Reset the Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator Once the transaxle fluid has been changed, the transaxle fluid change indicator must be reset. Use the following steps to reset the indicator: 1. Press the INFO button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) until TRANS FLUID LIFE is displayed. 2. Press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100% is displayed. The indicator is now reset. The percentage of transaxle fluid life remaining may be checked at any time by pressing the INFO button several times until the TRANS FLUID LIFE message appears. NOTICE: We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRONR-III, because fluid with that label is made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRONR-III is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. 6-23
