| 1. |
Place the vehicle on a level ground.
|
| 2. |
Start the engine to warm up the ATF.
|
| 3. |
Check by using KDS/GDS that the temperature of the ATF is between 70°C
and 80°C (158 - 176°F).
|
| 4. |
Move the shift lever slowly from "P" to "D", then back to "P". Repeat
this sequence a total of two times and then move the shift lever to "N"
range.

Check that the fluid level is in the "HOT" mark on the oil level gauge.
If fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until the level reaches
the "HOT" mark.
