NGINE IL
The engine oil level can be seen on the instrument
cluster display every time the engine is started, or on
the Information and Entertainment system display by
activating on the main menu (MENU button) the
following functions in sequence: "Vehicle Information";

"Engine Oil".

Check on the display using the 6 notches that the oil
level is between the MIN and MAX level: 1 notch MIN
level, 6 notches MAX level.
NOTE:
Use care when filling under hood fluids such as engine
oil, windshield washer fluid, antifreeze etc. to minimize
spillage onto the top of the engine. Any excess fluid
that is spilled onto the top of the engine should be
removed using compressed air or an absorbent cloth.
If the oil level is close to or below the MIN mark, add oil
gradually through the filler, (refer to "Top-Up And Oil
Level Indication Update On Display" in this section)
considering that each notch shown on the display
corresponds to approximately 8.8 fl oz (250 ml).
The oil level can also be checked manually on 2.9L
Engines.
CAUTION!
Make sure not to add too much oil when topping off
the engine. Engine oil in excess may damage the
engine. Have the vehicle checked. Never exceed the
MAX level when topping off engine oil. It is advisable
to check the oil level in intermediate steps using the
oil dipstick (2.9L Engine Only).
CAUTION!
The oil level is not refreshed immediately on the
display after topping off. Consequently, wait for the
oil level to be refreshed on the display and see the
following procedures.
NOTE:
Always reinstall the oil cap and tighten to proper torque
whenever it is removed. Never run the engine with cap
removed as this could cause oil to leak from engine.
Manual Oil Level Checking Procedure — 2.9L Engine
Check that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX
marks on dipstick, clean it with a lint-free cloth and
reinsert it. Extract the dipstick again and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
