ternating with dashes and the © warning light on the instrument panel comes on: message 2.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as possible.
Engine oil level: general information
The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimum level. It does not inform the driver that the oil level has exceeded the maximum level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
Minimum oil level warning on instru- ment panel
When the ignition is switched on, if the level is above the minimum level, the message “oil ok” or “oil level correct” is shown on the display for approximately 15 seconds.For more information, press the trip computer readout button: the message
“oil level” will be shown on the display with squares which are replaced by dashes when the level drops.
To advance to trip computer reading, press the button again.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level be- tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.
Check the oil level at regular inter- vals and before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve- hicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its min- imum.
