    NOTE: Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift lever in "Neutral" (shift selector lever to "P" range for CVT model), and set parking brake.
  3. After running engine at idling speed for 3 to 5 seconds, stop it and add fluid to satisfy specification.
  4. With engine stopped, turn steering wheel to the right and left as far as it stops, repeat it a few times and fill fluid to specified level.
