Part B: Owner Checks and Services
Listed in this part are owner checks and services
which should be performed at the intervals
specied to help ensure the safety, dependability
and emission control performance of your
vehicle.
Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at
once. Whenever any uids or lubricants are added
to your vehicle, make sure they are the proper
ones, as shown in Part D.
At Each Fuel Fill
It is important for you or a service station attendant
to perform these underhood checks at each fuel ll.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level and add the proper oil
if necessary. SeeEngine Oil on page 284for
further details.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Check the engine coolant level and add the proper
coolant mixture if necessary. SeeEngine Coolant
on page 294for further details.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level Check
Check the windshield washer uid level in the
windshield washer uid reservoir and add
the proper uid if necessary. SeeWindshield
Washer Fluid on page 305for further details.
Hood Latch Operation Check
Pull the primary hood latch release handle inside
the vehicle. The secondary latch should keep
the hood from opening all the way when the
primary latch is released. Make sure the hood
closes rmly. SeeHood Release on page 280for
further details.
At Least Once a Month
Tire Ination Check
Visually inspect the tires and make sure the tires
are inated to the correct pressures. Do not
forget to check the spare tire. SeeInation - Tire
Pressure on page 329.
