Auto Trans fluid can only be checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature, otherwise you will get a false reading.
With the engine running, and the gear selector in Park, and the hand brake fully engaged and the wheels chocked (this prevents the car from running you over), pull the dipstick marked "TRANS" or something similar, wipe with lint free rag, then reinsert the dipstick until it stops and immediately remove it and check the level on the stick.
If the level is low, add only enough fluid to reach the "ok" marking ... overfilling an auto trans is just as harmful as not having enough fluid in it. Add a little at a time, checking the level often.
