value indicates the current oil level in liters

above Minimum.

After starting the engine, the last determined

value is displayed.

The oil level must be between the two marks.

Exact measurement

The oil level is measured continuously while

driving or when stopped with the engine run-

ning.

The determination of a new value can take

30 minutes or longer.

If only dashes are shown in the display, it

was not possible to determine a new

value. This can, for example, be the case when

driving short distances or with a sporty driving

style.<

Fast measurement

In addition to the continuous measurement, you

can also quickly determine the current oil level,

e.g. after adding engine oil, however with a low

measuring accuracy.

1. With the engine at operating temperature,

i.e. after at least 6 miles/10 km of uninter-

rupted driving, park the vehicle in a horizon-

tal position.

2. Allow the engine to run at idle.

3. Press the BC button in the turn signal lever

repeatedly until the oil level display is

shown in the instrument cluster.

4. Press the BC button in the turn signal lever

for at least 2 seconds.

The oil level is determined. A clock symbol

is displayed during the measurement.

5. After approx. 1 minute the current oil level is

displayed.

If not all measuring conditions are met,

e.g. with the engine cold, "-.-" is dis-

played. The requested measurement is carried

out as soon as possible.<

Adding engine oil

Do not add oil until a value slightly above the

Minimum of 0.0 quarts/liters is displayed by the

oil level measurement. In this area a message is

also shown on the Control Display.

Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km,

otherwise the engine could be damaged.

Add a maximum of 1 US quart/1 liter of oil, oth-

erwise the engine may be damaged by adding

too much oil.
