Operation
Engine compartment
Closing
Let the hood drop from a height of
approximately 1 ft (30 cm).
The hood will lock audibly.
Check to make sure the hood is fully
closed.
If you can raise the hood at a point
above the headlamps, then it is not
properly closed. Open it again and let
it drop with somewhat greater force.
The amount of oil your engine needs will
depend on a number of factors, includ-
ing driving style. Higher oil consumption
can occur when
the vehicle is new
the vehicle is driven frequently at
higher engine speeds
Engine oil consumption checks should
only be made after the vehicle break-in
period.
Warning! G
If you see flames or smoke coming from
the engine compartment, or if the coolant
temperature gauge indicates that the en-
gine is overheated, do not open the hood.
Move away from vehicle and do not open
the hood until the engine has cooled. If
necessary, call the fire department.
Warning! G
The engine is equipped with a transistor-
ized ignition system. Because of the high
voltage it is dangerous to touch any com-
ponents (ignition coils, spark plug sockets,
diagnostic socket) of the ignition system
with the engine running
while starting the engine
if ignition is "on" and the engine is
turned manually
Warning! G
Be careful that you do not close the hood
on anyone.
