The automatic transmission fluid expands largely as its temperature rises; the fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore, there are two different scales for checking the level of hot fluid and cold fluid on the level gauge.
Though the fluid level can be checked without warming up the fluid on the “COLD” range, we recommend checking the fluid level when the fluid is at operating temperature.

Check the fluid level monthly.
1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the transmission
fluid up to normal operating temperature; 158 to 1768F (70 to 808C) is normal.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface
Checking the fluid level when the fluid is cold

Basic information about tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
The tire pressure monitoring system alerts the driver by transmitting a signal from a sensor in each wheel when tire pressure drops significantly.
This system activates when the vehicle reaches speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h) and may not respond immediately to sudden drops in tire pressure,
