Automatic hydromechanical transmission. Continuously variable transmission
The level of the working fluid in the automatic transmission is checked when the engine and transmission are warmed up to normal operating temperature.
The required degree of heating of the units is ensured by driving the vehicle for a distance of at least 16 km.
1. Place the vehicle on a flat horizontal surface and turn off the engine. To accurately determine the level of the working fluid in the transmission, the check should be performed no earlier than 60 and no later than 90 seconds after turning off the engine.
2. Remove the dipstick (yellow handle) from the transmission housing and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
3. Insert the dipstick into the transmission housing hole and lower it until it stops, as shown in the illustration.
4. Remove the dipstick again and check the fluid level. The fluid level should be between the upper and lower marks.
5. If the working fluid level has dropped below the minimum mark, add the recommended brand and type of fluid to the transmission housing and bring its level up to the upper mark.
Continuously variable transmission
Use only Honda ATF PREMIUM fluid for filling and topping up. In case of emergency, DEXRONR type II or III fluid for automatic transmissions can be used. However, this may disrupt the normal operation of the continuously variable transmission. Drain the transmission fluid at the earliest opportunity and replace it with the recommended Honda ATF PREMIUM fluid.
Automatic hydromechanical transmission
Operation of the automatic transmission is permitted only with Honda ATF PREMIUM fluid or DEXRON® type II or III fluid.
1. Insert the dipstick into the transmission housing hole and push it in until it stops, as shown in the illustration.
