This chapter describes all standard, country- specific and optional features offered with theseries. It also describes features that are notnecessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations
must be observed.
Generalinformation
The engine oil consumption is dependent on
the driving style and driving conditions.
The engine oil consumption can increase in
the following situations, for example:'ySporty driving style.'yBreak-in of the engine.'yIdling of the engine.'yWith use of engine oil types that are classij
fied as not suitable.
Therefore, regularly check the engine oil level
after refueling.
When a dynamic driving style is used, such as when cornering fast, the system is unable tomeasure the engine oil level. With this driving
style, measure the engine oil level using a dej tailed measurement, refer to page 196.
The vehicle is equipped with electronic oil
measurement.
The electronic oil measurement has two measj uring principles:
'yStatus display.'yDetailed measurement.Electronicoilmeasurement
Statusdisplay
Concept
The engine oil level is monitored electronically
while driving and shown on the Control Disj play.
If the engine oil level reaches the minimum
level, a Check Control message is displayed.
Functionalrequirements A current measured value is available after apj
prox. 30 minutes of driving. During a shorter
trip, the status of the last, sufficiently long trip
is displayed.
With frequent short-distance trips, regularly perform a detailed measurement.
Displayingtheengineoillevel

The engine oil level is displayed.
Engineoilleveldisplaymessages
Different messages appear on the display dej pending on the engine oil level. Pay attention
to these messages.
If the engine oil level is too low within the next
125 miles/200 km, add engine oil.
A red indicator light indicates that the
engine oil pressure is too low.
NOTE
An engine oil level that is too low causes
engine damage. There is a risk of property
damage. Immediately add engine oil.'
