Note:

If the level check is forcibly carried out in a cold gearbox, use the "25 ° C" scale on the dipstick. The range between marks in the form of notches corresponding to the minimum and maximum on the scale "25 ° C" is of a recommendation nature and should not be used to accurately determine the level of the automatic transmission fluid. As soon as possible, repeat the check in accordance with the recommendations in paragraph 1 of this article.
