The air bag is an optional configuration. If your vehicle is equipped with the air bags, please
ensure that there is clean and no damage in the “air bag” positions shown in the figure above. DO
NOT let any cleaning fluid or liquid enter into the aribags.
7. Engine Oil Check
7.1. Oil level check
Engine oil consumption is affected by many factors. A new engine reaches the normal value only
after the mileage of approx. 5,000 KM. More engine oil might be consumed under the high-load of
engine.
Stop your vehicle on a level surface before the engine oil check. Turn off the ignition switch and
wait for a few minutes to let the engine oil flows into the oil pan (it may spend more time if the
exterior temperature is low or the temperature of engine does not reach the normal working
temperature). Before the engine oil check, please DO NOT start up the engine in the cold state. Pull
out the dipstick and clean it with a flannelette-free cloth, and then fully insert the dipstick into the
tank and pull it out again.
If the oil level is between MIN and MAX marks at the lower of dipstick, DO NOT refill the oil. The
hot engine oil may exceed the upper mark several millimeters due to its thermal expansion.
7.2. Method to replace the engine oil
In case that the engine oil is replaced, it is necessary to wait until the engine cools down to the
normal temperature, and then replace the engine oil according to the following procedures:
Ø Stop the vehicle over a jack, and then unscrew the filler cap (the cap is shown in the figure
below);
Ø Lift the vehicle up to an appropriate height, unscrew the drain plug with a torque wrench,
and flow the used engine oil into a container at the same time.;
Ø Then, tighten the drain plug with the torque wrench to the specified torque (25±3Nm);
Ø Jack down the vehicle, and then refill proper quantity of new engine oil according to the
specifications;
Ø Screw up the filler cap.
MAX MIN
The oil refilled shall not
exceed the upper limit.
