Inspections and maintenance
CAUTION: An incorrect oil level can seriously damage the engine.
– Make sure that the vehicle is standing on a flat and level surface
when the oil level is measured.
Oil level check
The engine oil level can be checked on the master display ('Vehicle info' - 'Oil level').
The ignition must be on and the engine must not be started!
The engine oil level can only be checked:
– When the engine oil temperature was at least -5°C at the last engine stop, and
– After a certain amount of time has elapsed since the last engine stop.
This waiting time depends on the engine oil temperature at the last engine stop. See
table below.
Example: The oil temperature at the last engine stop was 80°C. The waiting time before
the oil level can be checked is 70 minutes.
NOTE: The oil temperature rises to 80°C after driving approximately 25 km
with a loaded vehicle.
So if the vehicle is moved after being stationary for a longer period (for
example for refuelling), the oil is cold and has not risen above 40°C. The
waiting time is then 180 minutes.
If the above conditions are not met, the
message 'No actual data available'
appears on the master display
indicating that the oil level cannot be
measured.
Directly following this message, the
information screen 'Last check' is
displayed.
It shows the level and tacho reading
when the oil level was last measured.
Oil level warning
If the oil level is incorrect (either too low or too high), the message 'Check oil level'
appears on the master display.
When this message is suppressed, automatically a yellow or red warning pops up
indicating that the oil level must be corrected.
If the warning is yellow, correct the level (level too high) or add 5 litres of oil (oil level
low).
