Theres no transmission dipstick on those cars. They have a sealed transmission ment to be left alone until serviced by a mechanic
You can do what the mechanics do however. Using a lift is easiest but it can be done. Jack the passenger side up only as much as you need to so the car is still relatively level and remove the front passenger wheel. Do this with the car running. With the wheel off you can access the side of the trans and locate the fill/check plug and unscrew it. If fluid seeps out, its full if not use a long thin funnel and fill with dexron V until it does seep out.
If you try this with the engine off you will get trans fluid shooting at you with you being in a bad position to dodge it(trust me its not fun)
If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
