Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are
on properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on
the hood prop. Remove the hood prop from the slot in
the hood and return the prop
to
its retainer. Then
just
let the hood down and close it firmly.

check your engine oil
For more information, see “LOW Oil Level Light” in the
Index. You should check your engine oil level regularly:
this
is an
added reminder.
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time
you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the
oil
must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick
is
located at the front
of
the
engine compartment, near the center. The dipstick
handle has a bright, yellow loop design for easy
identification.
Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes
to
drain back into the oil pan.
If
you don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show
the
actual level.
