Engine Oil Level Sensing
Engine Oil Level
This vehicle has an electronic engine Oil Level Sensing (OLS)
system which records the engine oil level every vehicle start if the
vehicle has been left for 4 or more hours, if the vehicle is on level
ground, and if it is within a pre-set oil temperature range.
Warning: Engine oil or components may be hot and could
cause severe burns.
Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the
lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious
engine damage.
Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the
minimum level can cause serious engine damage.
Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if
damage is caused by the use of incorrect engine oil. Low
quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection required
by modern, high performance engines.
The system may not record an oil level if the engine oil
temperature is low.
If the engine oil level is approaching the minimum mark, a
message will be shown in the instrument cluster along with a
warning symbol. A code will also be stored in the engine
management system. The engine oil level should be checked and
filled to the required level engine oil as soon as possible. The
message will clear when the oil level is filled with a least 1 litre to
the required level and the OLS system has performed a valid
check of the oil level.
Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the required
specification can cause excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposits, and increased pollution. It could also
lead to engine failure (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page
11.12).
