5.

Check  transmission  fluid  level  is  at  the  "HOT"  mark  on  the
dipstick. If the transmission fluid level is less than this, add DIA
QUEEN J2 until the level reaches the "HOT" mark.

NOTE: 

If the transmission fluid level is too low, the oil

pump will draw in air along with the transmission fluid,
which will form bubbles. If the transmission fluid level
is too high, rotating components inside the transaxle
will churn the fluid and air into a foamy liquid. Both
conditions (level too low or too high) will cause the
hydraulic pressure to drop, which will result in late
shifting and slipping of the clutches and brakes.

NOTE: 

In either case, air bubbles can interfere with

normal valve, clutch, and brake operation. Also, foaming
can cause transmission fluid to escape from the transaxle
vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.

6.

Securely insert the dipstick.

NOTE: 

The transmission fluid should always be replaced

under the following conditions:

When troubleshooting the transaxle.

When overhauling the transaxle.

When  the  transmission  fluid  is  noticeably  dirty  or  burnt
(driving under severe conditions).

Change transmission fluid

If  you  have  a  transmission  fluid  changer,  use  this  changer  to
replace the transmission fluid. If you do not have a transmission
fluid  changer,  replace  the  transmission  fluid  by  the  following
procedure.

Transmission fluid cooler

1.

Disconnect the hose shown in the illustration which connects
the transaxle and the oil cooler (inside the radiator). Place a
container under the hose to collect the fluid.

The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is
started. If all the transmission fluid has drained out before
then, the engine should be stopped at that point.

2.

Start the engine and let the transmission fluid drain out.
(Running conditions: "N" range with engine idling)

Approximately  3.5  dm3(3.7  quarts)  of  transmission
fluid should be removed.

3.

Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transaxle case
to drain the transmission fluid.

Approximately  2.0  dm3(2.1  quarts)  of  transmission
fluid should be removed.

4.

Install the drain plug with a new gasket, and tighten it to the
specified torque.

Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 N·m (23 ± 2 ft-lb)

Stop pouring if the full volume of transmission fluid cannot
be added.

5.

Add new transmission fluid (DIA QUEEN J2) through the oil
filter tube.

Approximately  5.5  dm3(5.8  quarts)  of  transmission
fluid should be added.

6.

Repeat the procedure in Step 2. (to pump out the rest of the
contaminated transmission fluid)

7.

Add new transmission fluid (DIA QUEEN J2) through the oil
filter tube.

Approximately  3.5  dm3(3.7  quarts)  of  transmission
fluid should be added.

NOTE: 

Check for contamination or a burnt odor. If the

transmission fluid is still contaminated or burnt, repeat
Steps 6 and 7 before proceeding to Step 8.

8.

Reconnect the hose which was disconnected in step 1 above,
and firmly insert the dipstick.

9.

Start the engine and run it at idle for one to two minutes.

10.

Move the selector lever through all positions, and then move
it to the "N" position.

11.

Check that the transmission fluid level is at the "COLD" mark
on the dipstick. If the level is less than this, add transmission
fluid.

Drive  the  vehicle  until  the  transmission  fluid  temperature
rises to the normal operating temperature [70 - 80°C (158 -
176°F)], and then check the transmission fluid level again.
The transmission fluid level must be at the "HOT" mark.

NOTE: 

The transmission fluid temperature is measured

with scan tool MB991958.

NOTE: 

The "COLD" level is for reference only; the "HOT"

level should be regarded as the standard level.

NOTE: 

If it takes some amount of time until the

transmission fluid reaches its normal operating
temperature [70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F)], check the

If the transmission fluid is less than the specified level, add
transmission fluid.
If the transmission fluid is greater than the specified level,
drain  the  excess  fluid  through  the  drain  plug  to  adjust  the

Change Coolant

When removing the radiator cap, use care to avoid contact
with hot coolant or steam. Place a shop towel over the cap
and turn the cap counterclockwise a little to let the pressure
escape  through  the  vinyl  tube.  After  relieving  the  steam
pressure,  remove  the  cap  by  slowly  turning  it
counterclockwise.

1.

Remove the radiator cap and drain plug to drain the coolant.

Remove the water feed hose B, and drain the coolant in the
water jacket.

3.

Remove the radiator condenser tank assembly and drain the
coolant.

4.

Drain the coolant then clean the path of the coolant by injecting
water into the radiator from the radiator cap area.

5.

Install the water feed hose B.

6.

Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.

7.

Assemble the radiator condenser tank assembly.

Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The
use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminum components.

Vehicles for California emission regulation: If the coolant
contact  the  PremAir®  direct  ozone  reduction  (DOR)
radiator, wash it with water at once.

8.

By referring to the section on coolant, select an appropriate
concentration for safe operating temperature within the range
of 30 to 60 %. Use special tool MB991871 to refill the coolant.
A  convenient  mixture  is  a  50  %  water  and  50  %  antifreeze
solution [freezing point: -31°C (-24 °F)].

Recommended  antifreeze:  Long  Life  Antifreeze
Coolant or an equivalent
Quantity:

9.5 dm3(10.0 quarts)
10.0  dm3(10.6  quarts)  <Vehicles  with  Towing
Package or DOR radiator>

9.

Reinstall the radiator cap.

10.

Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat opens.

11.

After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min several
times, stop the engine.

12.

Remove the radiator cap after the engine has cooled, and
pour in coolant up to the brim. Reinstall the cap.

Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank assembly.

13.

Add  coolant  to  the  radiator  condenser  tank  assembly
between the "FULL" and "LOW" mark if necessary.
