Checking the fluid level when the fluid is hot
1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the transmission fluid up to normal operating temperature; 158 to 1768F (70 to 808C) is normal.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
3. First shift the select lever in each position. Then shift it in the “P” position, and run the engine at idling speed.

1) HOT range
