performance of your vehicle.

Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Whenever any fluids or lubricants are added to your
vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones, as shown
in Part D.

At Each Fuel Fill

It is important for you or a service station attendant to
perform these underhood checks at each fuel fill.

Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level and add the proper oil
if necessary. See “Engine Oil” in the Index for
further details.

Engine Coolant Level Check

Check the engine coolant level and add the proper
coolant mixture if necessary. See “Engine Coolant” in
the Index for further details.

Windshield Washer Fluid Level Check

Check the windshield washer fluid level in the
windshield washer tank and add the proper fluid if
necessary. See “Windshield Washer Fluid” in the Index
for further details.

Hood Latch Operation Check

Pull the primary hood latch release handle inside the
vehicle. The secondary latch should keep the hood from
opening all the way when the primary latch is released.
Make sure the hood closes firmly. See “Hood Release”
in the Index for further details.
