Engine oil
The amount of oil your engine needs will 
depend on a number of factors, including 
driving style. Higher oil consumption can 
occur when
the vehicle is new
the vehicle is driven frequently at 
higher engine speeds
Engine oil consumption checks should only 
be made after the vehicle break-in period.
!
To avoid damage to the windshield wipers or 
hood, never open the hood if the wiper arms are 
folded forward away from the windshield.
Warning!
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.
