NOTE:
If the level indication is not updated after the
previously described procedure, repeat the
process. The oil level measurement is made
every time the engine has been turned off (after
being warmed up) and on a level surface. If you
do not get a new reading after adding oil, find a
more level surface to park on. Most parking lots
and gas stations are sufficiently level, some
driveways are not.
If you have added a quart of oil and the oil level
display is not reading 3/4 or full, please contact
an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
After adding oil to the engine, always reinstall
the oil cap securely by rotating clockwise until it
stops. Never run the engine without the oil fill
cap as this could cause a oil leak.
Because the oil level is automatically detected
only when the engine has been off and restarted
(after four minutes), the system cannot immedi

ately detect a sudden drop in oil level while
driving (for example, if the oil pan starts to leak
due to damage during an off-road event).
WARNING!
Be aware the engine oil fill cap may be hot.
Please use suitable gloves. WARNING: risk of
burns!
CAUTION!
Do not to add too much oil. Overfilling the oil
may damage the engine.

engine.
