OIL
Display and measurement of the engine
oil level
Caution!
Risk of engine damage.
fRegularly check the oil level each time before
refueling.
fDo not allow the oil level to fall below the minimum mark.
Conditions for measuring the oil level
1. Vehicle stationary.
2. It is important to ensure that the vehicle is on
a level surface for correct oil level measure-
ment to occur.
3. Engine must be at operating temperature
(at least 140 °F/60 °C oil temperature).
4. Engine must be idling.Initiating oil level measurement
1. Push operating lever forward in order to switch
on the selection field.
2. Select “OIL” with the operating lever.
3. Push operating lever forward. Measurement is
started. 4. Allow waiting time to elapse.
5. Once the measurement has been completed,
you can read off the engine oil level on the
segment display.

Instruments, On-Board Computer 6. If the segments are filled in up to the top line,
the oil level has reached the maximum mark.
Under no circumstances add engine oil.7. If only the bottom segment is filled in, the oil
level has reached the minimum mark.
Add engine oil immediately.
8. If the bottom segment flashes, the oil level has
dropped to below the minimum mark.
Add engine oil immediately.
The difference between the minimum and
maximum marks on the segment display is
approx. 1.1 quarts (1.0 liters).
One segment of the display between the minimum
and maximum marks corresponds to a top-up
quantity of approx. 0.32 quarts (0.3 liter).fAdd engine oil if necessary.
Switch off ignition before adding engine oil.
fPlease see the chapter “ENGINE OIL LEVEL”
on Page 160.
fNever add more engine oil than required
to reach the maximum mark.
Failure
A failure of the oil level display is indicated by a
warning message on the on-board computer.
Display “Check oil level”
The on-board computer display “Check oil level” is
an additional reminder to you to check the oil level.
The display depends on the distance travelledand
the operating conditions, and does not indicate
whether or not the oil level is correct.

General information regarding the
on-board computer functionsRange on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously recal-
culated during the journey based on the fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
The more the fuel level falls, the more spontan-
eously the display reacts. For this reason, the
range on remaining fuel is not displayed if less
than 9 miles (15 kilometers).
If the vehicle's inclination changes while driving or
refueling, incorrect range information may
temporarily be given.
Note
If the tank is nearly empty and you top up with only
a small quantity of fuel, an accurate range on
remaining fuel is impossible.Average consumption and average speed
The values displayed are based on the distance
travelled since the last reset to “zero”.
You can set the starting time for a measurement
before or during the trip.
Switching the ignition off does not reset the
measurements. It is therefore possible to collect
values over long periods.
Disconnecting the car battery will cause these
memories to be erased.
Tire pressure
The Tire pressure function of the on-board
computer displays the tire pressures dependent
on temperature in the four wheels. You can watch
the tire pressure rise and fall while driving.
The display is only for information.
fTo correct the tire pressures, always use the
displayed values from the “Info pressure”
display in the tire pressure menu.
