Engine oil

The engine oil consumption is dependent on
driving style and driving conditions.

Checking oil level

Your car is equipped with an electronic oil-level
monitor.
For a precise measurement and display of the
oil level, it is necessary that the engine be at
operating temperature, i.e. after uninterrupted
driving for at least approx. 6.5 miles/10 km. You
can have the oil level displayed while you are
driving, or while the vehicle is at a standstill on a
level surface and the engine is running.
You can have the oil level reading displayed in
the instrument cluster.

Push button

or down repeatedly until the appropriate
symbol is shown in the display, accompa-
nied by the word "OIL".

2.

Press button

The oil level is checked and the reading dis-
played.
