It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oilchange intervals. Befo
re starting the engine,
check the engine oil leve
l. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level, remove the dipstick,wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur-face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick.If the level does not reach the line whichshows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valvecover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

It is important to familiarize yourself with thefollowing terms:Cold tire pressure:• The measured pressure after the vehiclehas been parked for
at least three hours,
or• The measured pressure when the vehicleis driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) afterhaving been parked for three hours.
Maximum pressure: the maximum per-missible cold tire inflation pressure forthis tire.Recommended inflation pressure: theinflation pressure for optimum tire perfor-mance.Intended outboard sidewall:• The sidewall that
contains a whitewall,
bears white lettering or bears manufac-turer, brand, and/or model name moldingthat is higher or deeper than the samemolding on the other sidewall of the tire,or
• The outward facing si
dewall of an asym-
metrical tire that has a particular sidethat must always face outward whenmounted on a vehicle.
Passenger car tire: a
tire intended for use
on passenger cars, multipurpose passen-ger vehicles, and trucks
that have a gross
vehicle weight rati
ng (GVWR) of 10,000
pounds or less.Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated byits manufacturer as primarily intended foruse on lightweight truc
ks or multipurpose
passenger vehicles.Tread: portion of a ti
re that comes into
contact with the road.Tread rib: a tread se
ction running circum-
ferentially around a tire.Tread separation: pulling away of thetread from the tire carcass.Carcass: the tire structure, except treadand sidewall rubber wh
ich, when inflated,
bears the load.Sidewall: portion of
a tire between the
tread and bead.Section width: the lin
ear distance between
the exteriors of th
e sidewalls of an
inflated tire, excluding elevations due tolabeling, decoration,
or protective bands.
Bead: the part of the tire that is made ofsteel wires, wrapped or reinforced by plycords and that is shaped to fit the rim.
NOTE
Check each battery terminal for corrosion.You can prevent further corrosion by wash-ing with a solution of
baking soda and water.
Grease the posts and cl
amps after cleaning or
tightening them.Ensure the battery is securely installed andcannot be moved. Also
check each terminal
for tightness.If you will not be driv
ing your vehicle for a
long period of time, re
move the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid willnot freeze. The batter
y only should be stored
with a full charge.Before cleaning the battery, tighten all thefiller port caps to keep
dirt and moisture out.

WA R N I N GDriving with tires that are worn, damagedor improperly infl
ated is dangerous.
These type tire conditions will adverselyaffect vehicle performance.These type tire conditions can also cause atread separation or blowout which mayresult in an accident causing seriousinjury or death.
Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used.It is recommended that tires over 6 yearsgenerally be replaced
