Engine oil

General information
Engine oil consumption depends on the driv‐
ing style and the conditions of use. A highly
sporty driving style, for example, results in
considerably higher engine oil consumption.
Therefore, regularly check the engine oil level
after refueling.
Depending on the engine, the vehicle uses
electronic oil measurement or dip stick meas‐
urement.

Checking the engine oil level

Your car is equipped with an electronic engine
oil level check.
