      Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.

    2. With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever to all positions from P to L. Then return it to P.

    3. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean.

    4. Push the dipstick back fully into the pipe.

    5. Pull the dipstick out again and check that the fluid level is within the HOT range. If the fluid level is below the HOT range, add new fluid and recheck the fluid level. If the fluid level exceeds the HOT range, drain the fluid once, add a proper amount of new fluid and recheck the fluid level.
