sition, move the lever up or down to ac-
tivate the right or left turn signals.

there. The lever will return to its normal
position when you release it. REAR FOG LIGHT SWITCH

unless the head light switch is in the third
position.
NOTE When the head light switch is re-
turned to the “OFF” position, the rear fog
light switch will be canceled automatically.

Hood latch operation
Pull the hood release handle inside the
vehicle. Make sure that you cannot
open the hood all the way without re-
leasing the secondary latch. Be sure to
close the hood securely after check-
ing for proper latch operation. See “All
latches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS
AND BODY” in the “Periodic Main-
tenance Schedule” in the “INSPEC-
TION AND MAINTENANCE” section
for lubrication schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Adjust the seat and adjustable head re-
straint (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Check the brake pedal and the park-
ing brake lever.
Adjust the mirrors.
Make sure that you and all passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.
Make sure that all warning lights come
on as the key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
Check all gauges.
Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING light turns off when the
parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, perform the following under-
hood checks:
Engine oil level
Coolant level
60A187S
Make sure the hood is fully
closed and latched before
driving. If it is not, it can fly up un-
expectedly during driving, obstructing
your view and resulting in an acci-
dent.
WARNING
ENGINE OIL
CONSUMPTION
It is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle op-
eration.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the qual-
ity of the oil and the conditions the vehi-
cle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high- speed
driving and when there is frequent accel-
eration and deceleration. Under high
loads, your engine also will consume more
oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
