WARNING

To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never change the coolant when the en-
gine is hot.

Never remove the radiator or engine

coolant reservoir cap when the engine
is hot. Serious burns could be caused by
high pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator.

Avoid direct skin contact with used

coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.

Keep coolant out of the reach of chil-

dren and pets.

Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply

the parking brake.

2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches

operating temperature.

3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than

10 minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.

4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-

insert it all the way.

5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil

level. It should be between the H (High) and
L (Low) marks

B

. This is the normal oper-

ating oil level range. If the oil level is below
the L (Low) mark

A

, remove the oil filler cap

and pour recommended oil through the
opening. Do not fill oil level above H
(High) mark

C

.

6. Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.

It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance

intervals

or

during

the

break-in period, depending on the severity
of operating conditions.
