Oil level
The oil level can be checked when the engine
is not running by scrolling to the oil level sen-

•
Oil service required
If is displayed,
the oil level may be too high. Take the
vehicle to an authorized Volvo work-
shop as soon as possible.
•
If the oil level sensor indicates that the
level is too low, using the correct oil,
top up with the amount of oil indicated
as soon as possible, see oil specifica-
tions (p. 371).
WARNING

ground with the engine off for
5 minutes before the oil level reading
will be correct.
•

for checking the oil level electronically
