Checking the Transmission Fluid Level
It is important to check the transmission fluid level regularly to ensure that the transmission is operating properly. The transmission fluid level should be checked with the engine running and the transmission in neutral. The dipstick should be pulled out and wiped clean, then reinserted and pulled out again. The fluid level should be between the “min” and “max” marks on the dipstick.
Changing the Transmission Fluid
The transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000-60,000 miles, or more often if the vehicle is driven in severe conditions. The transmission fluid can be changed by a qualified mechanic or by following the instructions in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
Using the Correct Transmission Fluid
It is important to use the correct transmission fluid for your Smart car. The manufacturer recommends using a specific type of fluid for each model and year of vehicle. The correct transmission fluid can be found in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
