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.

The instrument cluster reads out and displays the oil level.










NOTE:
- If the oil temperature signal is not available, oil level measurement will NOT be carried out.
- The oil level is measured in the background during refueling. After switching on the ignition, the engine oil level is shown on the segment display.

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 is detected, the engine is switched off within 20 seconds of starting the engine (terminal 15 off) and a "normal" measurement operation is started via terminal 15 within a further 20 seconds, the previously measured value will be displayed (after the minimum measuring time of 6 seconds 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.
