How could I verify the transmission fluid on this car? No dipstick show in engine compartment.

the transmissions are lifetime fill and do not require checking unless there is a leak. if you do check it, it must be on a lift and between 30 and 50 degrees C for the fluid temp. and there is a fill plug that also serves as a level indicator on the right side of the tranny, check it with engine running and A/C on. it also requires special fluid. you might want to let a professional take care of this.
