Do not confuse the automatic
transmission dipstick with the en-
gine oil dipstick! Not all vehicles
equipped with automatic transmis-
sions also have the A/T level con-
trol rod.
This mode is very convenient for level checking
and topping up operations or where you want
to service the transmission without necessarily
having to access the rear part.
To use this feature make sure of the following:
The ATX 280 is disconnected from the ve-

ate diameter
