specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark plugs of which the ground electrode

is adjusted.

• Replace a drain plug gasket with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.

• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.

• After replacement, always perform CVT fluid leakage check.
1. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION” using CONSULT. 
2. Select “FLUID TEMP” and confirm that the CVT fluid temperature is 40

°C (104°F) or less. 

3. Check that the selector lever is in the “P” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
4. Lift up the vehicle.
