Add oil
With the hybrid system at operating
temperature and turned off, check the
oil level on the dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle
should be on level ground. After turning
off the hybrid system, wait a few min-
utes for the oil to drain back into the
bottom of the engine.
2. Pull the dipstick out, hold the rag un-
der the end and wipe it clean.

level while holding a rag under the
end.

If the oil level is below or only slightly
above the low level, add engine oil of
the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine
oil in small quantities at a time, checking
the dipstick. We recommend that you use
a funnel when adding oil.
CAUTION
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the
dipstick is indicated as follows:
For the engine oil capacity, see "Service
NOTICE
specifications" on page 431.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand−tight.
