Hood

Releasing

Pull the lever.

Do not clean the windshield and head-

lamps if the hood is unlocked as this may

damage the headlamp washer system.<

Opening

To avoid damage, make sure that the

wiper arms are against the windshield

before you open the hood.<

Press the release handle and open the hood.

Closing

Close the hood from a height of approx. 16 in/

40 cm with momentum. It must be clearly heard

to engage.

If you notice any signs while driving your

vehicle that the hood is not completely

closed, stop at once and close it securely.

Make sure that the closing path of the hood is

clear; otherwise, injuries may result.<

Engine oil

Engine oil consumption depends on driving style

and operating conditions, e.g., with a very

sporty driving style, the engine oil consumption

is significantly increased.

Therefore, check the engine oil level regularly

after each refueling.

Checking engine oil level

1. With the vehicle's engine at normal operat-

ing temperature, i.e. after uninterrupted

driving for at least 6 miles/10 km, park the

vehicle on a level surface.

2. Switch off the engine.

3. Pull the dipstick out after approx. 5 minutes

and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth, paper

towel or similar material.

4. Carefully push the dipstick all the way into

the guide tube and pull it out again.

The oil level should be between the two

marks on the dipstick.
