Prerequisites for the oil level measurement:

Measurement procedure:

2. The waiting time for the oil level measurement is shown in the display as well as scrolling segments in the oil level indicator. This alerts you that the measurement is taking place.

3. When the measurement is concluded, the oil level is indicated by the segment display.

Note:
There is no dipstick available for the direct measurement of the oil level.
