왘

Let the hood drop from a height of 
approximately 1 ft (30 cm).

The hood will lock audibly.

왘

Check to make sure the hood is fully 
closed.

If you can raise the hood at a point 
above the headlamps, then it is not 
properly closed. Open it again and let it 
drop with somewhat greater force.

The amount of oil your engine needs will 
depend on a number of factors, including 
driving style. Increased oil consumption 
can occur when

앫

the vehicle is new

앫

the vehicle is driven frequently at 
higher engine speeds

Engine oil consumption checks should only 
be made after the vehicle break-in period.

When checking the oil level

앫

the vehicle must be parked on level 
ground

앫

with the engine at operating tempera-
ture, the vehicle must have been 
stationary for at least 5 minutes with 
the engine turned off

앫

with the engine not at operating tem-
perature yet, the vehicle must have 
been stationary for at least 30 minutes 
with the engine turned off

To check the engine oil level via the 
multifunction display, do the following:

왘

Switch on the ignition (

page 39).

The standard display (

page 166) 

should appear in the multifunction 
display.

G

When closing the hood, use extreme caution 

not to catch hand or fingers. Be careful that 

you do not close the hood on anyone.

Make sure the hood is securely engaged be-

fore driving. Do not continue driving if the 

hood can no longer engage after an accident 

for example. The hood could otherwise 

come loose while the vehicle is in motion 

and injure you and/or others.
