Steps
- Check brake-fluid level and condition
With the vehicle level, check that the fluid sits between the reservoir marks and is clean. If it is low or discolored, inspect for leaks and worn components and follow the service procedure rather than simply topping it off without diagnosis.
- Check the engine oil
Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, fully reinsert it, and check the level again. Add the specified oil in small amounts if needed, then reinstall the filler cap securely.
- Inspect coolant when the engine is cool
Wait until the engine is fully cool before opening the coolant reservoir. Compare the level with the marks, add the specified coolant mixture if needed, and tighten the cap securely.
- Top up washer fluid
Open the washer reservoir and add suitable washer fluid without overfilling. Secure the cap and operate the washers briefly to confirm the nozzles spray correctly.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
