It may be necessary to top up engine oil between
regularly scheduled services.
No action is necessary until a message is dis-
played in the instrument panel.
WARNING
•
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into
contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
•
If
Engine oil level Service required is
displayed, have the vehicle checked by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian. The oil level may be too high.
Checking the oil level
The oil level can be checked in
the center display when the
engine is not running.
From the center display's
Home view, swipe the screen
from right to left to open App
view. Tap
Car status and then tap Status to
show the oil level.
Oil level graphic in the center display
The oil level should be checked at regular inter-
vals, particularly during the period up to the first
scheduled maintenance service.
If the oil level sensor indicates that the level is
too low, using the correct oil, top up with the
amount of oil indicated as soon as possible.
NOTE
•
The system cannot detect changes in the
oil level immediately. The vehicle must be
driven approximately 20 miles (30 km) or
have been parked on level ground with
the engine off for 5 minutes before the
oil level reading will be correct.
•
If the necessary conditions are not met
for checking the oil level electronically
(time interval after the engine was
switched off, if the vehicle is parked on
an incline, etc.),
No values available will
be displayed. This does not indicate a
problem with the oil level sensor.
