Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
| Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine

| Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous. |
| Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows. |
