Engine oil

Engine oil consumption depends on driving
style and the operating conditions.
Checking engine oil level
Your car is equipped with an electronic oil-level
monitor.
In order to maximise the precision of the oil level
indicator, the measurement needs to be taken
with the engine at operating temperature, in
other words after driving uninterrupted for at
least 10 km, approx. 6 miles. You can have the
oil level displayed whilst driving or when parked
on a level surface with the engine running.
You can have the current oil level displayed on
the control display.
