2) At each fuel fill
A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired immediately.
▶ Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The best time to check the engine oil level is when
the oil is warm.
1.
After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
2.
Pull out the oil level indicator (dip stick).
3.
Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back down all the way.
4.
Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil level on it.
5.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the lower mark. Avoid overfilling the
engine, since this may cause engine damage.
6.
Push the indicator all the way back down into the engine after taking the reading.
If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the engine first. The cold oil will not
drain back to the pan fast enough to give a true oil level reading.
▶ Engine Coolant Level and Condition
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and add coolant if necessary. Inspect the
coolant. Replace dirty or rusty coolant.
▶ Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid if necessary.
3) At least twice a month
Tire And Wheel Inspection and Pressure Check
Check the tire for abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged wheels. Check the tire
pressure when the tires are cold (check the spare also, unless it is a stowaway).
Maintain the recommended pressures. Refer to "Wheels and Tire" is in section 4H.
4) At least monthly
▶ Lamp Operation
Check the operation of the license plate lamp, the headlamps (including the high beams), the
parking lamps, the fog lamps, the taillamp, the brake lamps, the turn signals, the backup lamps
and the hazard warning flasher.
▶ Fluid Leak Check
Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the
vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is
normal. If you notice fuel leaks or fumes, find the cause and correct it at once.
