ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) until
the oil level reaches the bottom of the
filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
Tightening torque (1):

with your bare hands before inspect-
ing transaxle oil.

ing compound the following or equiv-
alent to the plug threads to prevent

Automatic Transaxle (AT)
Fluid
Specified Fluid
Use an automatic transaxle:
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
Fluid Level Check
CAUTION
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transaxle fluid at normal operat-
ing temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the transaxle fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal
operating temperature.
2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the specified auto-
matic transaxle fluid. Using auto-
matic transaxle fluid other than
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
may damage the automatic transaxle
of your vehicle.
NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
EXAMPLE
3) Park your vehicle on level ground.
4) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in "P" (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
5) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
range, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
"P" (Park) position.
