How do I check my Kia Picanto's transmission fluid level?

I have a Kia Picanto and I want to make sure that the transmission fluid level is correct. What is the best way to check this and what should I do if the level is low?

To check the transmission fluid level in your Kia Picanto, first make sure the car is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually labeled and located near the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it and then pull it out again. The level should be between the two marked lines on the dipstick. If it is low, you will need to add more fluid. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct type of transmission fluid to use and how to add it.

If you notice that the transmission fluid level is consistently low, it could indicate a potential leak. In this case, it's best to bring your Kia Picanto to a certified mechanic for a thorough inspection. Ignoring a transmission leak can lead to costly damage and potential safety hazards.
