Engine oil

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

Checking engine oil level

Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic oil
level check.
The oil level can be displayed when the engine
is at operating temperature. Constant short-
distance driving or a very sporty driving style
can make it impossible for a measurement to be
taken.

Displays in instrument cluster

You can display the current oil level in the
instrument cluster.

1 Oil level
2 Maximum marking
3 Minimum marking
4 BC button
Press the button

4 in the turn signal lever

repeatedly until the display for the oil level
appears in the instrument cluster.

Manual transmission: the engine oil level
will be shown in the lower display.

<

The oil level must be between the two marks.
A new measurement is automatically taken
after each engine start.
