Engine oil warning message
Insufficient engine oil, danger for the engine
This message is shown in red lettering when the engine oil level has dropped to a level that may result in damage to the engine.
There are two different types of driver information engine oil messages: warning messages (e.g. underfilled), and the engine oil level reading messages initiated by the driver.
Too much engine oil in the engine
This message is displayed if there is too much oil in the engine.
Engine oil level or condition of oil has dropped to a critical level
This message is shown if the engine oil condition has deteriorated due, e.g. to water in the engine oil.
Warning message
This message is shown when there is a fault in the oil measuring system (e.g. oil sensor is defective (oil level, temperature and quality) (B40).
Engine oil level measurement message upon driver request
This information is displayed when the oil level is called up with the ignition not yet switched on.
Engine oil level measurement messages upon driver request
This information is displayed when the oil level is called up while the engine is running, because the engine oil level cannot be measured in this operating condition.
Engine oil level measurement messages upon driver request
This information is always displayed when the engine oil level is called up.
The oil level can only be measured correctly when the vehicle is parked on level ground. This display reminds the driver as such.
Missing oil quantity in liters
This message is displayed when calling up the oil level after the measurement has been performed and oil must be added. The following quantities may be displayed:
- 1.0 l, 1.5l, 2.0l
- 1.0 qt, 1.5 qts, 2.0 qt
The displayed missing oil quantity is no longer changed during the display. A change in the oil level cannot therefore be directly observed in the display
Engine oil quantity OK
This display appears when the oil level is called up and the measurement shows the oil level to be OK.
If "Measurement not currently possible!" is displayed, the waiting time was not observed.
Waiting time
Measuring the oil level is only possible following the expiration of a waiting time following "engine OFF".
If the driver tries to check the oil level during "Engine ON", the message "ENGINE OIL LEVEL NOT AVAILABLE WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING" appears.
