Engine oil level indicator
To check the engine oil level, park vehicle on level
ground, with engine at normal operational temperature.
Check oil level approximately 5 minutes after turning
off the engine, allowing for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
The message “PERF. SERV. ON TIME” (perform service
[engine oil level check] on time) will be displayed if the
required waiting period has not been observed after
turning off the engine:
• with engine at operational temperature
approximately 5 minutes.
• with engine not at operational temperature up to
approximately 30 minutes.
The engine oil level check can be repeated after a short
time.
Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 2.
To call up the trip odometer and main odometer, press
button è or ÿ on the multifunction steering
wheel until the display appears. See page 94.
With the multifunction display showing the trip
odometer and main odometer, press button j or
k on the multifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the “CORRECT MEASUREMENT – ONLY IF VEH.
LEVEL” engine oil level indicator appears. This indicator
is only a reminder. Measurement can be cancelled by
pressing button j or k if the vehicle is not
parked on level ground. An incorrect reading will be
recorded if you do not cancel the measurement. Move
the vehicle to level ground and measure again.
The electronic key in starter switch is not in position 2 if
the “ENGINE OIL LEVEL – IGNITION ON PLEASE!”
message appears.
