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, e.g. 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.

Display in the instrument cluster

1. Lightly push button 1 in the turn indicator

stalk up or down repeatedly until the appro-

priate symbol is shown in the display,

accompanied by the word "OIL".

2. Press button 2 in the turn indicator stalk.

The oil level is checked and the reading dis-

played.
