To check your automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:

2. Check the fluid. ...
3. Wipe the dipstick with a clean, lint-free rag; then reinsert it and pull it out again.

How to Check Automatic Transmission Fluid -

Open the hood up. You will find two different types of sticks, one near the alternator to the belts side, which is yellow or white colored and one on the battery side. It is orange colored, round small cup like dip stick, secured with a safety lock on it. Press the lock a side with your thump and take the stick out. When you push the stick inside it will sit in place firmly with a click sound.
