HI there,

The transmission dip stick should be on the L/H/S at the back of the engine, viewed from standing at the front of the car, run engine and have trans warm to hot, check level, if low add as required, select each gear for a few sec and place in PARK, re check, repeat until oil is at correct level.

NB, this is for R/H/Drive cars, it should be located the same in L/H/Drive versions.
