Necessary inspections

Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid should be checked on a regular basis, with the exact interval depending on the fluid. Further details are provided in “Maintenance” on page 8-09.

Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control, that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury, and death.
