The level indicator rod for checking is located in the engine compartment. ATF brand transmission oil is also poured here.
The oil level can be checked at a cold (around 30°C) and warmed up to operating temperature (around 80°C) gearboxes.
1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Let the engine run for about 1-2 minutes at idle. Set selector lever to position "R", tighten the handbrake lever.
3. Start the engine and leave it to idle while checking.
Attention! If the oil level is too low, you can clearly hear how air is sucked in by the oil pump. This causes the oil to foam, which can lead to an incorrect result when checking the oil level. In this case, stop the engine and add some oil after about two minutes, then check the oil level again with the engine running.
4. Open the lock lever (6) and remove the oil level indicator.
5. Wipe the oil level indicator with a lint-free cloth, preferably leather, and insert it into the open hole of the locking device until it stops.
6. Pull out the oil level gauge and read the oil level. The fluid level must be between the marks "min" And "max" appropriate temperature range.
7. For cold gearbox (transmission oil temperature approx. 30°C) valid temperature range "30", for a gearbox heated to operating temperature (transmission oil temperature approx. 80°C) valid temperature range "80" on the level indicator.
Attention! Too little or too much oil has a negative effect on the functioning of the automatic transmission.
8. The old oil remaining on the level indicator, at the same time check for appearance and smell. Burnt friction linings cause a burning smell. Contaminated oil can cause problems with the transmission control system.
9. Top up with ATF if necessary (ATF abbreviation (English) stands for: "automatic transmission fluid"). Use a clean funnel for this (050) and a sieve (fine mesh filter mesh). All approved ATF oils can be mixed with each other. Do not use additional lubricant.
Attention! Do not add too much oil. Excess oil can cause malfunctions in the automation. In each case, excess oil must be drained.
Attention! Only ATF oils prescribed by the manufacturer may be used.
10. The engine must not be started and the vehicle must not be towed without adding ATF oil to the torque converter and automatic transmission. Apply the foot brake and slowly move the selector lever to all positions. Then check the oil level again.
11. Insert the oil level gauge as far as it will go and lock it with the lever of the locking device.
