and windshield

washer system

Approximate capacity is 8.2 US quarts
(7.8 liters).

Fill with water and — if required — with a
washer antifreeze (according to manu-
facturer's recommendations).

It is more convenient to mix the
washer fluid before adding it to

the reservoir.

Antifreeze agent for the washer
systems is inflammable. For this

reason, keep it away from sources of
flame and store it only in its original
containers. Store it so that it is inacces-
sible to children. Comply with the
instructions on the containers.

Checking oil level

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface
2. Switch the engine off after it has

reached normal operating tempera-
ture

3. After approx. 5 minutes, pull the

dipstick out and wipe it off with a
clean lint-free cloth, paper towel, or
similar material

4. Push the dipstick carefully all the way

into the guide tube and pull it out
again

5. The oil level should be in between

the two marks on the dipstick.

As with fuel economy, oil consumption
is directly influenced by your driving
style and vehicle operating conditions.
