scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The

wiper rubber element.

Checking the engine oil

Refer to the scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate
intervals for checking the engine oil.

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the
oil pan.

3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely latched in P
(Park).

4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.

5. Locate and carefully remove the
engine oil level dipstick.

6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again.
• If the oil level is between the lower and upper holes or between

the MIN and MAX marks (depending on application), the oil
level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
