English term or phrase: Cold Fluid Level Check
Manual Cold Fluid Level Check

Do a cold check to ensure that the transmission has enough fluid for safe operation until a hot check can be done.

Je sais ce que veut dire "cold check" , c'est juste le "fluid level" qui vient entre "cold" et "check" qui me perd.

cold fluid level check
vérification du niveau de liquide (pour transmission) à froid


Explanation:
Il s'agit tout simplement de vérifier le niveau de liquide pour transmission (dans la boîte de vitesses), lorsque le liquide est froid (plutôt que chaud lorsque le véhicule a été utilisé).
