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 precise measurement and display of the oil

level, the engine must be at operating tempera-

ture, i.e. following at least 6.2 miles/10 km of

uninterrupted driving. 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.

Display in the instrument cluster

1. Push button 1 in the turn signal/high beam

lever up or down repeatedly until the appro-

priate symbol is shown in the display,

accompanied by the word "OIL".

2. Press button 2.

The oil level is checked and the reading dis-

played.
