oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when the
engine is switched off, see Menu navigation -
combined instrument panel (p. 113).
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.

Refill 0.5 litre, only fill with 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The oil level is only detected by the system
during driving. The system cannot directly
detect changes when the oil is filled or
drained. The car must be driven
about 30 km before the oil level display is
correct.
WARNING
Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4)
appears as shown in the illustration below.
The level must never be above MAX or
below MIN, as this could lead to engine
damage.

Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
