form a detailed measurement.
Monitoring
Principle
The engine oil level is monitored electroni-
cally while driving and can be shown on the
MINI Interaction Unit.
If the engine oil level is outside its permis-
sible operating range, a Check Control mes-
sage is displayed.
Functional requirement
To use the electronic oil measurement, the
following functional requirement must be
met:
A current measured value is available after
approx. 30 minutes of normal driving.
Displaying the engine oil level
To display the engine oil level, go through
the menu as follows: Apps menu /
"Vehicle" / "Vehicle status" / "Engine oil
level".
System limits
When making frequent short-distance trips
or using a sporty driving style, it may not
be possible to calculate a measured value.
In this case, the measured value for the last,
sufficiently long trip is displayed.
Detailed measurement
Principle
During a detailed measurement, the engine
oil level is checked when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and displayed on a scale.
If the engine oil level is outside its permis-
sible operating range, a Check Control mes-
sage appears on the Interaction Unit.
General information
The idle speed increases slightly while the
engine oil level is measured.
Functional requirements
Note the following functional requirements
for detailed measurement:
– The vehicle is parked in a horizontal po-
sition.
– Drive-ready state is turned on by press-
ing the Start/Stop switch.
– The engine is at operating temperature.
– Selector lever is in selector lever posi-
tion N or P and accelerator pedal not
pressed.
