-
Pull on the hood release lever just inside the driver-side door to pop the hood.
-
Locate the hood release latch under the hood. Use one hand to press up on the latch while you lift the hood.
-
Insert the hood prop rod into the hole in the hood marked with an arrow.
-
-
-
Locate the battery on the left side of the engine bay.
-
If your battery has a cover on it, remove it and set it aside.
-
Look for corrosion on the battery terminals. Corrosion can be either white, grey, or blue and will generally be quite noticeable.
-
-
-
Using a 10mm hex wrench, loosen the nut on the screw holding the negative terminal in place.
-
If the corrosion is preventing you from accessing the nut, use the other (open) end of the wrench or a wire brush to scrape some of the corrosion away.
-
Pull the negative battery cable off of the negative lead.
-
-
-
Scrape the corrosion off of the battery terminal using a wire battery brush or some other scraping/brushing tool.
-
-
-
Re-seat the cable on the negative battery terminal.
-
Tighten the nut on the battery clamp.
-
-
-
-
Open a packet of battery terminal protector, and, using your finger, coat the (now assembled) battery terminal in a thin layer. Be sure to cover the outside of both the lead and post, but not to allow any protector between the post and lead.

-
Twist the radiator cap counterclockwise and remove it from the radiator.
-
-
-
Fill the radiator with water until you can see the level of water rising in the radiator opening.
-
Replace the cap on the radiator.
-
-
-
Unscrew the cap from the radiator overflow reservoir located to the left of the radiator, in front of the battery.
-
Fill the reservoir with water until the water level is just below the "max" fill line marked on the left side.
-
Replace the cap on the reservoir.
-
-
-
Locate the power steering reservoir near the front right corner of the engine bay.
-
If the fluid level is below the "Lower Level" fill line, remove the cap and refill the reservoir with power steering fluid.
-
-
-
Locate the dipstick on the right side of the engine.
-
Remove the dipstick from its housing and wipe it off with a rag.
-
Re-insert the dipstick, and then remove it. This will give an accurate reading for the level of oil in the engine.
-
-
-
Twist the oil filler cap counterclockwise, and remove it from the top of the engine.
-
Using a funnel, pour one quart of manufacturer specified oil into the engine.
-
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
-
If the oil level is still low, add more oil.
-
When the oil has reached the proper level, replace the dipstick and oil filler cap.
-
-
-
Locate the window washer fluid reservoir in the front right corner of the engine bay.
-
If the fluid level appears to be low, refill the reservoir with window washer fluid.
-
-
-
Locate the brake fluid reservoir at the rear right corner of the engine bay.
-
If necessary, unscrew the cap and refill the brake fluid reservoir.
-
-
-
Unscrew the valve stem cap from the valve stem on the tire.
-
Using a handheld pressure gauge, check the pressure in the tires. The tires should be inflated to approximately 30 psi.
-
Using an air compressor, re-inflate the tires to the desired air pressure.
