Doing Your Own

Service Work

Warning
It can be dangerous to work on
your vehicle if you do not have
the proper knowledge, service
manual, tools, or parts. Always
follow owner manual procedures
and consult the service manual
for your vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service
work, use the proper service
manual. It tells you much more
about how to service the vehicle
than this manual can.
This vehicle has an airbag system.
Before attempting to do your own
service work, see Airbag System
Check 0 82.
Keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of
any service work performed.
Caution
Even small amounts of
contamination can cause damage
to vehicle systems. Do not allow
contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.

Bonnet

To open the bonnet:
1. Pull the bonnet release lever
with this symbol on it. It is on
the lower left side of the
instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle to
find the secondary bonnet
release handle. The handle is
under the front edge of the
bonnet near the centre. Push
the handle to the right and at
the same time raise the
bonnet.
To close the bonnet:
Before closing the bonnet, be sure
all filler caps are on properly. Then,
bring the bonnet from full open to
within 152 mm (6 in) of the closed
position. Pause, then push the front
centre of the bonnet with a swift,
firm motion to fully close the bonnet.
