ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is normal to top
up the level between oil changes.
The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. They
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash.

Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not
been exceeded (risk of engine
damage).
To gain a more precise indication
of the level, press the trip mileage
reset button or the information
scroll button on the trip computer.
The display only warns
the driver if the oil level
is at the minimum level.
It does not inform the
driver that the oil level has
exceeded the maximum level as
this can only be measured using
a dipstick.
See Engine oil level: Topping
up/filling, on the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is
at its minimum.
