z Check the oil level on the dipstick
once again after adding the oil.
CAUTION
Add oil
O.K.
Too full
Be careful not to touch the hot ex-
haust manifold.
If the oil level is below or only slightly
above the low level, add engine oil of
the same type as already in the engine.
With the hybrid system at operating
temperature and turned off, check the
oil level on the dipstick.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine
oil in small quantities at a time, checking
the dipstick.
1. To get
a
true reading, the vehicle
should be on a level spot. After turning
off the hybrid system, wait a few min-
utes for the oil to drain back into the
bottom of the engine.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
fill between the low level and the full level
on the dipstick is indicated below for ref-
erence.
2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean
with a rag.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand−tight.
3. Reinsert the dipstick—push it in as far
as it will go, or the reading will not be
correct.
Oil quantity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
1.5 (1.6, 1.3)
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil
level on the end.
