To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil
must be maintained at the correct level. Check the
oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel
stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is
about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine
is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground
will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low
end of the range and MAX at the high end of the
range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the
MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch
markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1 liter) of oil when the reading is at
the low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil
level to the high end of the range marking.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch
markings on the dipstick.
NOTE:
Use care when filling under hood fluids such
as engine oil, washer fluid, antifreeze, etc., to
minimize spillage onto the top of the engine.
Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the top of the
engine should be removed using compressed air
or an absorbent cloth.

The instrument cluster display will indicate when
the washer fluid level is low. When the sensor
detects a low fluid level, the Low Washer Fluid
Warning Light will illuminate and the "Washer Fluid
Low" message will display.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and
the rear window washer is shared. The fluid reservoir
is located in the engine compartment, be sure to
check the fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer solvent only (not
radiator antifreeze). When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, take some washer fluid and apply it to a
cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper blades, this
will help blade performance. To prevent freeze-up of
your windshield washer system in cold weather,
select a solution or mixture that meets or exceeds
the temperature range of your climate. This rating
information can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
NOTE:
Use care when filling under hood fluids such
as engine oil, washer fluid, antifreeze, etc., to
minimize spillage onto the top of the engine.
Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the top of the
engine should be removed using compressed air
or an absorbent cloth.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite and
burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.

Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free
battery. Water will never have to be added, and
periodic maintenance is not required.

over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme-
diately with large amounts of water. Refer to Jump
