Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and materials.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is warmed up.
Wear safety gloves and goggles.

2. Locate and Inspect Dipstick

Open the hood and locate the transmission fluid dipstick.
Ensure the dipstick is clean and free of debris before extraction.

3. Check Fluid Level

Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean using a lint-free cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick fully back into the tube.
Remove the dipstick again and observe the fluid level against the markings.
- The fluid should be within the "Full" and "Add" marks.

4. Add Transmission Fluid (if necessary)

If the level is low, use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid as specified in the owner's manual.
Add fluid gradually, rechecking the level to avoid overfilling.

Ensure the dipstick is securely in place.
Check for any leaks under the vehicle after the inspection.
