HINT:

Use the dipstick for fluid level inspection, making sure that the engine is running at an idle and that the ATF (Automatic Transaxle Fluid) is at normal operating temperature.

NOTICE:

When towing an automatic transaxle vehicle, since the oil pump does not operate, the fluid lubrication inside the transaxle can be insufficient and there is a danger of the transaxle being seized. For this reason, the automatic transaxle vehicle should be towed at a low speed (no more than 30 km/h) and no more than 80 km at one time. As a better method, the automatic transaxle vehicle should be towed with its drive wheels lifted clear of the ground, or the drive or propeller shaft should be disconnected.
