4wd system needs maintenance

I have a 2010 RA with roughly 80k on it. Recently, an alarm that says "4WD sys. needs Maint.". I was wondering if anyone else in here had that alarm before. I do regular maint. with the dealer so I take care of her real good. I just want to know if this is normal at this stage of the vehicle. Any input would be appreciated.

step one - check ACD fluid level in the right/rear hatch area (but only for the coolest of Ralliarts ) I don't know where it is on the sedan - but probably same place in the trunk.

Is it low? (you will hope so...)

Pull the fuse until you take it to the dealership...

fluid for the sedan is in the right side of the trunk aswell, my acw pump died right around 80k on my 09, hopefully its not the case with yours but its a strong possibility, go to the dealer and take it from there

The ACD fluid is I'm the minimum level. Should I just fill this up myself? If so, where can I get the fluid to fill her up? Dealer?

I believe the transmission must be warmed up to get the correct measurement. When the transmission is cold the level drops.
