Attention: check the level and condition of the automatic transmission fluid regularly (every 1000 km).
Note: The vehicle must be driven until the working fluid reaches its normal operating temperature of 70-80°C.
1. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface and apply the parking brake.
2. With the engine idling, hold down the brake pedal, move the selector to all positions from "P" to "L" and return it back to the "P" position.
3. Measure the fluid level with the engine idling. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry.
4. Insert the dipstick completely into the nozzle.
5. Remove the dipstick: the working fluid level should be between the "HOT" (warm) marks. If the level is below this range, top up the working fluid.
Note: The automatic transmission type is stamped on the aluminum plate located in the engine compartment, in the line marked TRANS/AXLE.
Working fluid type:
- A241L, A245E, A241E — DEXRON III
- A540H - Toyota Type T or equivalent
Note:
- if it is not possible to fill in the working fluid type T, then it is permissible to use DEXRON III.
- castrol Transmax Z working fluid is an analogue of Toyota TYPE T working fluid.

Note: Do not overfill above the specified level.
6. If the working fluid smells burnt, has darkened or has become viscous, replace it. To determine the fluidity, compare it with fresh working fluid using a paper napkin. Normal working fluid is easily absorbed by paper, and bad working fluid is absorbed slowly.
