CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Note. When checking fluid level for the transmission, if vehicle has been operating in heavy traffic, towing a trailer or at high speeds in hot weather, wait 30 minutes before checking the fluid level.
Note. Some models have a transmission/differential unit. On these models the differential lubrication is separate from the transmission fluid. It must be checked and filled separately.
