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
X±02±0034±T
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 ªEngine Oil Pressure Lightº
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 a yellow ring handle. On the
1.6L engine, it is located near the front of the engine
compartment towards the passenger's side of the
vehicle. On the 2.0L engine it is located near the center
of the engine on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don't, the oil dipstick
might not show the actual level.
