under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Battery fluid (acid) level
5) Windshield washer fluid level

Pull the hood release lever inside the
vehicle. Check that you cannot open
the hood further without releasing the
secondary
latch.

securely after checking for proper latch
operation. See the item "All latches,

WARNING
Check that the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a
tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre
pressure of the spare tyre.
