To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine
oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Check the oil level at regular intervals. The best
time to check the engine oil level is before
starting the engine after it has sat overnight.
Do not check oil level when the engine is warm.
Checking engine oil level when the engine is
warm will give you an incorrect reading.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground, and has sat overnight, will improve the
accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain the
oil level between the range markings on the
dipstick. The safe range is indicated by a
crosshatch zone. Adding 1 quart of oil when the
reading is at the low end of the indicated range
will result in the oil level at the full end of the
indicator range.

To check the windshield washer solvent level,
proceed as follows:
1. To avoid any interference during the
procedure, lift the windshield wiper blade.
2. Loosen the four screws using the supplied
screwdriver. Remove the washer solvent
protection panel.
3. Release the plug from the opening.
4. Leaving the plug close to the opening, put a
finger on the central hole in the plug and
remove it: the level can be seen on the
control pipe due to capillarity.

5. After the check, reinsert the plug with the
control pipe in the initial position.
6. Reposition the washer solvent protection
panel and tighten the four self-tapping
screws.
CAUTION!
Do not overfill the engine with oil. Overfilling
the engine with oil will cause oil aeration,
which can lead to loss of oil pressure and an
increase in oil temperature. This loss of oil
pressure and increased oil temperature could
damage your engine.
