Doing Your Own
Service Work
{
Warning
It can be dangerous to work on
your vehicle if you do not have
the proper knowledge, service
manual, tools, or parts. Always
follow owner manual procedures
and consult the service manual
for your vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service
work, use the proper service
manual. It tells you much more
about how to service the vehicle
than this manual can.
This vehicle has an airbag system.
Before attempting to do your own
service work, see Servicing the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 3-39.
Keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of
any service work performed.

Caution
Even small amounts of
contamination can cause damage
to vehicle systems. Do not allow
contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.
Bonnet
To open the bonnet:
1. Pull the handle with this symbol
on it. It is inside the vehicle
under the steering wheel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle to
find the secondary bonnet
release. The handle is under the
front edge of the bonnet near the
centre. Push the handle to the
right and at the same time raise
the bonnet.
Before closing the bonnet, be sure
all the filler caps are on properly.
Then bring the bonnet from full open
to within 15 cm (6 in) from the
closed position, pause, and push
the front centre of the bonnet with a
swift, firm motion to fully close the
bonnet.
