Engine Oil Level Check - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

Engine oil level check

(JTD versions)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the dig-
ital multifunction display shows the writing
"OIL" for about 10 seconds.
Then, the engine oil level is detected for
some seconds, during which the display
shows six bars. At the end of this operation,
the display will show the oil quantity (fig.
84) and then the information concerning
the partial and total kilometres travelled.
Fig. 84 refers to the correct engine oil
display. As the oil level gradually falls, the
full bars go off.
