10 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

Electronic oil level sensor (4-cylinder engines only)

No action is necessary until a message is displayed, see the following illustration.

The oil level can be checked when the engine is not running by scrolling to the oil level sensor using the thumb wheel on the left steering wheel lever.

CAUTION:

If Oil service required is displayed, the oil level may be too high. Take the vehicle to an authorized Volvo workshop as soon as possible.
If the oil level sensor indicates that the level is too low, top up as soon as possible with the correct oil, see oil specifications (p. 373).

WARNING: Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.

Electronically checking the oil level

The oil level should be checked at regular intervals, particularly during the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service.

To check the oil level:

Activate ignition mode II , see Ignition modes (p. 84).
Turn the thumb wheel on the left steering wheel lever until Oil level is displayed.
> The oil level will be displayed.

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 2 hours 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.), Not available will be displayed. This does not indicate a problem with the oil level sensor.
