Checking Oil Level — Gasoline Engine
To ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. The engine oil level should
be checked five minutes after a warmed up
engine has been shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Always maintain the oil level
within the SAFE zone on the dipstick. Adding
1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil when the reading
is at the bottom of the crosshatch zone will
result in a reading at the top of the cross-
hatch zone on these engines.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield
washers and the rear window washer (if
equipped) is shared. The fluid reservoir is
located in the engine compartment. Be sure
to check the fluid level at regular intervals.
Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent only (not radiator antifreeze). When
refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take some
washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel
and wipe clean the wiper blades; this will
help blade performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu -
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers. WARNING!

Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable vapors
may be present, with the risk of fire.

Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Commercial windshield washer solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn
you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition. NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house
-
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
CAUTION!

Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand sani -
tizers to the plastic, painted, or decorated
surfaces of the interior may cause perma -
nent damage. Wipe away immediately.

Damage caused by these type of prod -
ucts may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.
