Checkingthe engine oil level usingthe on-board computer
RequirementsThe engine must havean oil level sensor. If not,the engine oil level can bechecked only withtheoil dipstick (page 354).
The engine oil level is determined during driving.Determiningthe engine oil level cantakeupto30 minutes with a normal drivingstyle andevenlonger with an active drivingstyle.
In ordertoreceivearesult asquickly as possi‐ble:
RWarmupthe engine
RParkthevehicle on a level surface

Press on and off switch3onthe tire infla‐tion compressor.The tire inflation compressor is switched on.The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum‐ped intothe tire. The pressure may brieflyrisetoapproximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch offthe tire inflation compres‐sor duringthis phase.
Letthe tire inflation compressorrunfor amaximum often minutes.The tire shouldthen haveattained a tirepressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sureyou cleantheaffected area asquickly as possible. It is prefera‐bletouse clearwater.
Ifyouget tire sealant onyour clothing, haveitcleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy‐lene.
