Checking the oil level
The concept
The oil level is monitored electronically and displayed on the Control Display.
Requirements
- The engine must be running and warm after the vehicle has been driven for at least 6 miles/10 km.
- The vehicle is stopped or being driven on a level roadway.
Displaying the oil level
1. "Vehicle Info"
2. "Vehicle status"
3. "Engine oil level"
Possible messages
- "Engine oil level OK"
- "Measurement not possible at this time."
- "Measuring engine oil level..."
Duration with the engine running: approx. 3 minutes.
Duration while driving: approx. 5 minutes.
- "Engine oil level below minimum. Add 1
quart!"
Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km. - "Engine oil level too high! Have this checked."
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Too much engine oil
Have the vehicle checked immediately; otherwise, surplus oil can lead to engine damage.
"Measurement inactive. Have this
checked."
Note the newly calculated remaining mileage until the next oil service. Have the system checked as soon as possible.
