1. Liquid level in automatic transmission should be checked and supported systematically. Insufficient level of liquid involves pro-slipping of details of transmission and decrease in road performance of the car. At superfluous level there is a foaming, being accompanied loss of liquid and a transmission exit out of operation. |
2. To check liquid level in automatic transmission follows after liquid warming up to working temperature. Liquid is considered heated-up after a trip in a usual mode on distance of 16 km (or 24 km at cold weather), and liquid temperature from 70 to 80 ° Page. |
3. Establish the car on an equal horizontal platform, tighten the hand brake, start the engine and transfer to an operating mode idling. Press a pedal of a brake and translate the selector lever from situation P through all range of transfers to extreme situation and again return to situation P. |

4. Get control щуп (it is specified by an arrow) from a tube which is directed from a transmission case towards a radiator (the engine continues to idle), and check level of liquid and remember. |
5. If level was checked on cold liquid, it should be between the bottom labels if liquid hot, level has to be between the top labels (see fig. Marks for check of level of transmission liquid on щупе). |
6. Wipe щуп pure rags, again insert щуп into a tube against the stop. |
7. Again get щуп and check liquid level. If level was checked on cold liquid, it should be between labels of Cold or Сool if level checked on hot liquid has to be between Hot labels. If level is near the bottom labels, add liquid of recommended brand through a funnel. |
8. Add only necessary amount of liquid, without exceeding admissible level. To finish level from the bottom mark to top about about 0,5 l of liquid (if liquid hot) are necessary. Add liquid in very small portions, periodically checking level. |
9. At level check, check also a liquid condition. If liquid of black or dark brown color, or extends a burned smell, it is necessary to replace it. At a doubtful condition buy a little new transmission liquid and compare with fulfilled on color and a smell. |
