• When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.

• Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.

• Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to TM-

xx,"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".

18. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.

NOTE:

When ambient temperature is 20

°C (68°F), it takes about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50°

to 80

°C (122° to 176°F).

19. Check CVT fluid level and condition. Refer to 

TM-416, "Inspection"

.

20. Connect negative battery terminal. Refer to
