Oil level check  For vehicles with electronic oil level check, the minimum oil level is monitored electronically while driving and displayed on the control display. A Check Control message is displayed if the oil level reaches the minimum. On vehicles with oil levels check via dipstick, the minimum oil level is not monitored electronically. Insufficient engine oil  Top up with oil immediately otherwise engine damage can occur due to insufficient engine oil. Make sure that you do not add too much engine oil. Too much engine oil  Have the vehicle checked immediately otherwise engine damage can occur due to too much added oil. The Owner's Handbook contains instructions and important information about checking the oil level and topping up engine oil. For information about topping up engine oil, see Top up engine oil

Check fluid level.  Do not reach into the engine compartment  Do not reach into spaces or gaps inside the engine compartment. Otherwise, danger of injury is present (for example due to moving or hot parts). Stop vehicle with engine at operating temperature on level ground safely after a journey of at least 10 km/6 miles.

Carefully push the oil dipstick into the measuring tube up to the limit position and pull it out again. The engine oil level must be between both of the marks of the oil dipstick. The engine oil quantity between both the marks of the oil dipstick amounts to 1 liter/1 US quart/2 pints.
