With the engine at operating temperature,
i.e. after at least 6 miles/10 km of uninter-
rupted driving, park the vehicle in a horizon-
tal position.

repeatedly until the oil level display is
shown in the instrument cluster.

5.
Press the BC button on the turn signal lever
for at least 2 seconds.
Do not add oil until a value slightly above the
minimum of 0.0 US quarts/liters is displayed by
the oil level measurement. In this area a mes-
sage is also shown on the Control Display.
The oil level is determined. A clock symbol
is displayed during the measurement.
After approx. 1 minute the current oil level is
displayed.
Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km,
otherwise the engine could be damaged.
Add a maximum of 1 US quart/1 liter of oil, oth-
erwise the engine may be damaged by adding
too much oil.
If not all measuring conditions are met,
e.g. with the engine cold, "-.-" is dis-
played. The requested measurement is carried
out as soon as possible.<
