Engine Oil / Washer Fluid / Additional Information

Checking the engine oil level [7]
Warm up the engine to operating temperature and switch off. On level ground pull the dipstick out and wipe clean before re inserting it fully. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should be between F and L.

Refilling engine oil [7]
Only refill with the specified engine oil [8], using a funnel to avoid spillage on engine components.

Checking the washer fluid level [7]
Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

Additional Information*

Idle Stop & Go (ISG)
When enabled, ISG automatically stops the car's engine to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The ISG function may not work if the car's battery charge status, ambient temperature and/or engine temperature is too low. Air conditioning/heater control settings may also affect ISG function.

Starting your vehicle with the parking brake applied:

  • For Manual Transaxle vehicles: Make sure the transaxle is in Neutral and the clutch pedal is fully depressed before starting the vehicle.
  • For Automatic Transaxle vehicles: Make sure the transaxle is in the P (Park) position and the brake pedal fully depressed before starting the vehicle.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
This is designed to assist with hill starts by preventing the car rolling backwards when driving off. The system maintains the braking pressure in certain circumstances for 2 seconds enabling to pull away when you are ready.

Parking brake (Handbrake)
When engaging the parking brake, apply the footbrake first and keep it depressed. Then ensure the parking brake is properly applied according to the type. Hand type: pull the parking brake lever up as far as possible. Foot type: depress the parking brake pedal down as far as possible. Electric (EPB) type: pull up the EPB switch and make sure the warning light comes on.
We strongly recommend to leave the car in first or reverse gear or in the 'P' (Park) position on automatics when leaving the car.
