NOTICE
If the engine oil is not changed at the cor-
rect time, engine wear may increase which
could cause engine damage. There is a risk
of material damage. Do not exceed the serv-
ice date indicated in the vehicle.
Electronic oil measurement
General
Electronic oil measurement uses two measur-
ing procedures:
▷ Monitoring.
▷ Detailed measurement.
When frequently making short journeys or us-
ing a sporty driving style, for example fast
cornering, perform a detailed measurement at
regular intervals.
Monitoring
Principle
The engine oil level is monitored electronically
during the journey and can be shown on the
control display.
If the engine oil level is outside its permissible
operating range, a Check Control message is
shown.
Operating requirements
A current reading is available after approxi-
mately 30 minutes of normal driving.
