      *1	Filler Plug

   2. Check that the fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)

      Note:
      

      • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

      • Be sure to directly check that the fluid level is within the specified range.

      • An insufficient or excessive amount of hybrid transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.

      • If the hybrid transaxle fluid was replaced or hybrid transaxle fluid was added, make sure to recheck the fluid level after driving the vehicle.

   3. Check for leaks if the fluid level is low. (If there are no fluid leaks but the amount of the hybrid transaxle fluid is insufficient, add hybrid transaxle fluid (Click here).)

   4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket to the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
