Message
Engine oil level
The oil level is checked using the electronic
oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when the
engine is switched off, see Menu navigation -
combined instrument panel (p. 105).
WARNING
If the message Oil service required is
shown, visit a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended. The oil
level may be too high.
IMPORTANT
If notified of low oil level, only fill with the
volume specified, for example, 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes
when the oil is filled or drained. The car
must have been driven approx. 30 km and
have been stationary for 2 hours with the
engine switched off and on level ground
before oil level indication is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
Measuring the oil level, 4-cyl. 2.0 l
If the oil level needs to be checked then it
should be carried out in accordance with the
following sequence.
1. Activate key position II; see Key positions
- functions at different levels (p. 76).
2. Rotate the thumbwheel on the left-hand
stalk switch to position Oil level.
> You will then see information displayed
about the engine oil level.
For more information on menu naviga-
tion, see Menu navigation - combined
instrument panel (p. 105).
NOTE
If the right conditions for measuring the oil
level are not met (time after engine shut-
down, the car's inclination, outside tem-
perature, etc.) then the message Not
available will be shown. This does not
mean that there is something wrong in the
car's systems.
