rod out of its clip. Insert the end
into the hole in the bonnet
designated by an arrow.
To close the bonnet, lift it up slightly
to remove the support rod from the
hole. Put the support rod back into
its holding clip. Lower the bonnet to
about 30 cm above the fender, then
let it drop. Make sure it is securely
latched.
While the auto idle stop function is
activated, the engine is stopped but
the ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position. Do not open the bonnet as
the engine components are hot.

Service Station Procedures

Oil Check

All engines consume oil as part of
their normal operation, therefore,
the engine oil level must be checked
regularly, for example when
refuelling. Always check the oil
before a long journey.
The amount of oil consumed
depends on how the vehicle is driven
and the climatic and road conditions
encountered. The rate of oil
consumption can be up to 1 litre per
1,000 km. Consumption is likely to be
higher when the engine is new.
Make sure the engine is warmed up
and the vehicle is parked on level
ground. Turn off the engine and wait
approximately 3 minutes before
checking the oil level.
