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. 110).
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 vol-
ume 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 (approx.
20 miles) and have been stationary for
5 minutes with the engine switched off and
on level ground before the oil level indication
is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold
due to the risk of fire.
