Read oil level

  • Park your vehicle so that it is horizontally Level.
  • Shut the engine off when it is at operating temperature.
  • Switch only the ignition back on.
  • Wait approx, two minutes.
  • Select: function button > Oil level. Or
  • Select: function button > Car systems control button > Servicing & checks > Oil level.
  • Read the oil level in the radio or MMI Display > fig. 198. Add engine oil if the bar of the oil level indicator is near "Min".

The oil level needs to be checked at regular intervals.

The best times to do this are whenever you refuel and prior to long trips.

Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and the operating conditions, oil consumption can be up to a 1/2 quart per 600 miles (0.5 liter per 1,000 km). Consumption may be higher within the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

Tips

The oil level indicator in the radio or MMI Display is only an information display. If the oil level is too low, a minimum oil warning appears in the instrument cluster. Add oil. If the hood has been opened, the current oil level is shown in the instrument cluster the next time the ignition is switched on.
