To close
Unlatch the prop from the engine hood and
put it back in its retainer.
Slowly lower the engine hood approximately
8 inches (20 cm), then let it drop from its own
weight.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when closing the engine hood.
 Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed
before driving.
If you drive without the engine hood com-
pletely closed, it could open up while driv-
ing.
NOTE
 If this does not close the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higher
position.
 Do not push down strongly on the engine
hood. Depending on how strongly or where
you push down, you could create a dent in
the vehicle body.

Engine oil and oil filter

To check and refill engine oil
It is normal for an engine to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,
check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level, remove the dipstick,

wipe it off, and gently reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipstick straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur-
face of the dipstick. The oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe
off the dipstick and reinsert it. Wait a
moment and then recheck the oil level by
checking the upper surface of the dipstick.
If the level does not reach the line which
shows the minimum amount of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve
cover, and fill to within the "Good" range.
