Once a week, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, perform the following under-
bonnet checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Windscreen washer fluid level
5) Battery solution level
6) Bonnet latch operation
Pull the bonnet release handle inside
the vehicle. Make sure that you cannot
open the bonnet all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure
to close the bonnet securely after
checking for proper latch operation.

“CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic
Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”

and latched before driving. If it is
not, it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a
tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre
pressure of the spare tyre.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed
depends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
dr iving and when there is frequent
acceleration and deceleration. Under high
loads, your engine also will consume more
oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
When judging the amount of oil
consumption, note that the oil may
become diluted and make it difficult to
accurately judge the true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a
normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of
