has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Low oil level
This is indicated by the display of a message
prompting you to top up, accompanied by the
Service warning lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine. For more information on Checking levels
,
refer to the corresponding section.
