while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the
accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when
the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and add if
required.

•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or
damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals
