properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the
hood prop.
Then just pull the hood down and close it firmly.
Remove the hood prop
from the slot in the hood
and return the prop to
its retainer.

Checking Engine Oil
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick has a yellow ring and is located
near the center of the engine compartment. See "Engine
Compartment Overview" in the Index for more
information on location.
