Before closing the
hood,
be
sure all the filler caps
are on.
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 let the hood down
and close it firmly.
Engine
Oil
If the engine oil pressure
light
on
the instrument
panel comes on, it means
you need to check your
engine oil
level
right away.
For more information, see “Engine Oil Pressure 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.
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.
