Maintenance and care
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
Checking the engine oil
Gasoline engine: Park the vehicle on level ground. After turning
off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain back
into the bottom of the engine.
Diesel engine: Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming
up the engine and turning it off, wait more than 5 minutes for the
oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out.

When adding engine oil (1ND-TV engine only)
Do not overfill the engine. Use the dipstick to ensure that the oil level does not
exceed the full mark. If exceeded, the oil level will have to be adjusted to
below the full mark.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing, or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
After changing the engine oil (diesel engine only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” when the engine is running.
(P. 90, 95)
Turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the “ON” position (do not start the engine because reset mode will
be canceled). Continue to press and hold the button until the trip meter dis-
plays “000000”.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the IGNITION ON mode (do not start the engine because other-
wise the reset mode will be canceled). Continue to press and hold the but-
ton until the trip meter displays “000000”.
