Fluid levels should be checked again. I topped mine up 3 times before all the nooks and crannies were filled!

The reason it's not in the owner's manual is that checking Tip fluid level is a relatively complicated procedure, done from under the car. If you're keen on doing this sort of thing yourself, I recommend you buy the Bentley manual.
