- Fig. 1 Display: Oil level display
You can check the engine oil level via the MMI.
Park your vehicle on a level surface.
Switch off the warm engine.
Switch on the ignition again without starting the engine.
Wait approx. two minutes.
Select function selector button CAR > control button (Car)* Systems > Servicing & checks > Oil level.
Depending on how you drive and the conditions in which the car is used, oil consumption can be up to 0.5 ltr./1000 km. Oil consumption is likely to be higher for the first 5000 km. For this reason the engine oil level must be checked at regular intervals, preferably when filling the tank and before a journey.
Note
The oil level display is intended solely for information purposes. An oil level warning will appear in the instrument cluster if the oil level is too low. Add more oil. If the bonnet has been opened, the current oil level will be shown in the instrument cluster the next time the ignition is switched on.
