Checking the oil level using the onboard computer
On vehicles with a 12-cylinder engine, the oil level can be checked using the on-board computer. On all other models, the dipstick must be used to check the engine oil level.
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
To check the oil level with the engine at normal operating temperature, switch the engine off and wait for approximately five minutes.
Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
2 in the ignition lock.
Press the
or
button to select the
Service menu.
Press the
or
button to select
Engine Oil Level.
Press the
button.
The multifunction display shows the following message: Engine Oil Level Measuring Now Measurement correct only if vehicle level.
The measurement takes a few seconds. You will see one of the following messages in the multifunction display:
• Engine Oil Level OK
• Add 1.0 l Engine Oil At Next Refueling
• Add 1.5 l Engine Oil At Next Refueling
• Add 2.0 l Engine Oil At Next Refueling
Add oil if necessary.
If the engine is at normal operating temperature and the Engine Oil Level Reduce Oil Level message appears, the engine oil level is too high.
Have excess oil siphoned off.
Do not add too much oil. Adding too much
oil can result in damage to the engine or the
catalytic converter. Have excess oil
siphoned off.
If the For Engine Oil Level Ignition Must be On message appears:
Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
If the Need More Time to Check Engine Oil Level message appears:
If the engine is at normal operating
temperature: repeat the measurement
after about five minutes.
If the engine is not at normal operating temperature (e.g. if the engine was only started briefly): repeat the measurement after about 30 minutes.
If the Engine Oil Level Not When Engine On message appears:
Switch off the engine.
If the engine is at normal operating
temperature: wait about five minutes
before carrying out the measurement.
If the engine is not at normal operating temperature, e.g. if the engine was only started briefly: wait about 30 minutes before carrying out the measurement.
If you wish to cancel the measurement,
