capacities" section in chapter 2.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
NOTICE
If the message is displayed

NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:

[Do not spill engine oil when adding or
changing engine oil. Wipe off spilled
oil immediately.

[The engine oil consumption may
increase whilst you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 6,000 km (4,000 miles).

[The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions,
oil quality, etc. Therefore, it is
recommended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it if
necessary.
