Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-15. 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. After the transaxle fluid has been changed, the transaxle fluid change indicator must be reset. To reset the indicator, do the following: 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. 1 . Press the INFO button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) until TRANS FLUID LIFE is displayed. 2. Press and hold the RESET button until 100% is displayed. This resets the transaxle fluid change indicator. The percentage of transaxle fluid life remaining may be checked at any time by pressing the INFO on the Dl6 until the TRANS FLUID LIFE message appears. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.5 L). Don't overfill. Notice: We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-Ill, because fluid with that label is made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-Ill is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. 4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way and turn the handle clockwise. 5-23
