Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation



9018 Oil temperature/oil level indicator

Oil level measurement is initiated via terminal 15 or manual selection via the "OIL" menu in the instrument cluster.







NOTE: If no oil temperature signal is supplied, the oil level will NOT be measured.







The instrument cluster reads out and displays the oil level.

Enabling a measurement after unintentionally starting the engine
- Following terminal 15 on, automatic measurement is carried out and the measured value is stored, subject to compliance with all the necessary conditions.
- If no wheel speeds are detected, the engine is switched off within 20 s of starting the engine (terminal 15 off) and a "normal" measurement operation is started via terminal 15 within a further 20 s, the previously measured value will be displayed (after the minimum measuring time of 6 s has elapsed).
- If one of these times is exceeded, the stored measurement will be discarded and a corresponding time will be indicated, e.g. 59:59 min.

NOTE: The oil level is automatically measured during refuelling. When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is are detected, the engine is switched off shown on the segment display.
