3.7 Soundproofing

If modifications are carried out on any parts whose 
operation produces noise, e.g.

• engine
• exhaust system
• air intake system
• tires
• Noise absorbing cover, etc.

sound level measurements must be made.

To prevent modifications from changing the vehicle's 
sound levels, it must be ensured that interior sound 
levels are reduced when planning bodies.

• Noise-insulating parts fitted as standard must not 

be removed or modified.

• The level of interior noise must not be adversely 

affected.

i

Comply with all federal, state, and local regulations 
and codes.

3.8.1

Cautions for vehicles with DUONIC

®

 

(mechanical automatic transmission)

When removing the DUONIC

®

 components and 

associated parts (piping and wiring included) or 
performing other works for body mounting, pay 
particular attention to the following.

Oil cooler piping

• When reinstalling removed oil cooler piping, etc., 

make sure that the pipe and the DUONIC

®

 system 

components do not contain any foreign matter. The 
presence of dirt or contamination may cause the 
system, etc. to malfunction.

• After reinstalling, be sure to adjust the automatic 

transmission fluid level and initialize the DUONIC

®

 

system.

Clearance

• Make sure that the piping and harnesses maintain 

at least 25 mm (1 in.) of clear space to other parts. 
If this is impractical with parts installed on the 
same plane, clamp them at proper point(s) to hold 
them securely.

3.8.2

Automatic transmission fluid level 
adjustment

After reinstalling removed oil cooler piping, adjust the 
automatic transmission fluid level as follows.

Automatic transmission fluid level adjustment 
procedure

Perform the adjustment in the following sequence. 
The position of the automatic transmission fluid level 
plug is the normal fluid level. If the automatic 
transmission fluid is up to the normal level after the 
hydraulic circuit is filled up, the adjustment has been 
properly made.
