showed by the oil meter never decreases
even 1,000km (kilometer) or longer has
been run because the engine oil has been
slowly diluted by the fuel and its vapor.
In high-speed driving, on a expressway for
example, the diluted parts
evaporated, so afterward, you may find that
much engine oil has been consumed.
Importance of engine oil level
examination
It's one of the key points in regular
vehicle maintenance to keep the engine oil
level above the optimal oil level so that the
engine oil function won't be reduced.
Therefore, it's very important to check the
engine oil regularly. We suggest your check
the engine oil level each time you add the
oil.
Notice
If the engine oil level is not
checked regularly, engine
insufficiency may lead to severe
engine faults.
For details on engine oil level examination,
refer to "Examine the engine oil level" in
Section 7-2.

Do not drive the vehicle with
only one auxiliary brake system
working. The invalid auxiliary system
should be repaired soon.
Vacuum booster
The vacuum booster works with the air inlet
negative pressure of the engine. If the

be lengthened.
Anti-lock brake system (with "ABS"
warning light)
The anti-lock brake system is used for
preventing lock of wheels in emergency
braking or braking on slippery roads. It
is helpful for providing stable direction
control and vehicle steering performance.
The effective method to press the ABS
brake pedal: When the ABS system works,
you will feel pulses of the brake pedal and
hear noises. Under such conditions, as long
