Service Station Procedures

If you can open the hood without
sliding the hood latch handle, or the

hood latch handle moves stiffly or

does not spring back as before, the

mechanism should be cleaned and
lubricated (see page

231

).

3. Lift the hood up most of the way.

The hydraulic supports will lift it

up the rest of the way and hold it
up.

To close the hood, lower it to about a
foot (30 cm) above the fender, then
press down firmly with your hands.
After closing the hood, make sure it

is securely latched.

Oil Check

Check the engine oil level every time

you fill the vehicle with fuel. Wait a
few minutes after turning the engine

off before you check the oil.

1. Remove the dipstick (orange

handle).

2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean

cloth or paper towel.
