3 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. See page 123.
4 Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx. 1.6 US qts
(1.5 liters). See page 126.
5 Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid DOT 4+. See
page 128.
