Kia Rio vehicles with automatic transmission do not have a separate transmission dipstick. The automatic transmission fluid level is checked using a special procedure that is performed by a qualified mechanic using a scanner.
The procedure for checking the automatic transmission fluid level in a Kia Rio with an automatic transmission may include the following steps:
* Place the car on a flat surface.
* Warm up the engine to operating temperature.
* Switching the gear selector to different positions.
* Connecting the scanner to the vehicle’s diagnostic connector.
*Follow the instructions on the scanner to check the fluid level.
It is important to note that unauthorized checking or changing the automatic transmission fluid can cause serious damage. Therefore, it is recommended that you have your automatic transmission serviced and repaired by a qualified mechanic.
