Check the engine oil level at each fuel

the oil level. If it is below the lower
level, add oil to bring the level up to
the upper level. (Use only engine oil of

Check your coolant level at each

on the outside of the reservoir while the
engine is cool. If the level is close to –
or lower than – the "LOW" level mark,
add coolant to the "FULL" level mark.
If the reserve tank is empty, remove
the radiator cap and refill as required.
Please refer to your Owner's Manual
for details.
