Engine Oil Level Sensing
The electronic engine oil level sensing system does not replace
the need for the owner to regularly check their engine oil using
the dipstick. Check the engine oil level every fourth fuel tank fill
or weekly - which ever is the soonest.
This vehicle has an electronic engine Oil Level Sensing (OLS) system
which records the engine oil level each time the fuel tank is filled with
25 litres or more of fuel.
Running the engine with engine oil below the minimum mark
on the dipstick can cause serious engine damage.
The system may not record an oil level if the engine oil
temperature is low or if the time to refuel is not sufficient for a
consistent oil level to be recorded.
For the correct engine oil refer to Fluids and Capacities (Refer to
’Fluids and Capacities’, page 12.9).
If the engine oil level is low the message OIL LEVEL LOW ADD 1L
will show in the message centre along with an amber warning triangle
and a chime sound. The engine oil level is low and should be topped
up with 0.22 gallons of engine oil as soon as possible.
The engine oil level should then be checked and topped up as soon
as possible (Refer to ’Fluid Levels’, page 11.8).
Press the READ button to acknowledge the message. The message
will clear when the ignition is set to OFF and then ON.
Low Outside Temperature
Warning: Even if the ICE WARNING message does not show,
there is no guarantee that at low temperatures the road is free
from ice.
At temperatures below 4°C the message ICE WARNING is shown in
the message centre, this shows to the driver that frost or ice is likely
to form on road surfaces.
The amber warning triangle will also come ON.
The message and warning triangle will continue to show until the
outside temperature rises to a safer level.
Warning Symbols
As the ignition is set to ON, the
electronic control units complete
a self check. During these checks
the following symbols will come
ON for five seconds and SYSTEM CHECK will show in the message
centre.
Under normal circumstances most warning symbols will go OFF at
the end of the individual system check if system checks are
satisfactory.
