1. 1

   Park the vehicle on a level surface.

2. 2

   Start the engine to warm up the ATF.

3. 3

   Using the KDS/GDS, make sure the ATF temperature is within 70 °C and 80°C (158-176°F).

4. 4

   Slowly move the shift lever from the "P" position to the "D" position, then back to the "P" position. Repeat this sequence a total of two times, then move the shift lever to the "N" range.

5. 5

   Remove the oil level gauge (A).
