3.Confirm that the cooling fan is turning.
If the fan is not turning, stop the engine
immediately and have it checked.
A- Radiator fan B- Air conditioning condenser fan (if so equipped)
*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.

4.Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.
Use only the recommended oils with an ACEA or API classification as specified inthis manual.NOTEl For 3200 models, check or refill the oil ac-
cording to the following manner.
• When the oil level is checked in step 6
above, check it on a low side of the dip-
stick because it is different in appearance
of oil level in the two sides of the dip-
stick.
• On vehicles without diesel particulate fil-
ter (DPF), the oil level should be within the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.NOTE• On vehicles with DPF, the oil level should
be within the range (A) to (C) (oil re-
placement indication mark) on the dip- stick.
If the oil level is beyond the oil replace-
ment indication mark (C), replace the oil as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the
maximum level (B).
• On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will
increase due to a little fuel getting mixed in the engine oil when the DPF regener-
ates to burn away the PM (particulate
matter). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re- quiring earlier oil replacement. Please referto the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 2-05.Selection of engine oil
Petrol-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20*, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oils can only be used if
they meet ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5 and API SM (or higher) specifi-
cations.
*: Only the vehicles complying with the Euro 5 regulation
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3 , A3/B4 or
A5/B5”
