3. ADD HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID

(a) Add hybrid transaxle fluid until the hybrid transaxle fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. [*] NOTICE: Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS. Using transmission fluid other than the above type may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or ultimately damage the transmission of your vehicle. Be sure to fully insert the filler nozzle into the filler plug opening. Be sure to add hybrid transaxle fluid slowly. If hybrid transaxle fluid is added quickly, the hybrid transaxle fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in hybrid transaxle fluid coming out of the filler plug opening. Be sure to directly check that the hybrid transaxle fluid level is within the specified range. An insufficient or excessive amount of hybrid transaxle fluid may damage the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly. Reference: 1.7 liters (1.8 US qts, 1.5 Imp. qts)

*1 Filler Plug *a Filler Nozzle *b 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

(b) After adding hybrid transaxle fluid, leave the vehicle for 30 seconds so that the hybrid transaxle fluid surface can become still again, and then check that the hybrid transaxle fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the hybrid transaxle fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure [*].)
