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. 112).
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
In the event of the message Oil level low
Refill 0.5 litre, only fill with 0.5 litres.
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.
NOTE
The oil level is only detected by the system
when certain conditions are fulfilled. For
this reason the system cannot always
directly detect changes when the oil is
filled or drained. Under certain conditions,
internal combustion engine operation may
be required for approx. 30 km.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
