Simple inspection and service
Quantity required:
The engine oil level can be checked by using either
the oil level gauge or the oil level check button on
the instrument panel. The oil level check button is
for simple checking. Therefore, use of the oil level
gauge is recommended for precise checking.
NOTE:
•
Check the engine oil level with the vehicle
parked on a level place and the engine stopped.
A correct engine oil level cannot be determined
when the vehicle is tilted, or if the engine is run-
ning or the time after stopping the engine is too
short. Let the engine stand at least 30 minutes
after stopping it before checking the oil level.
•
The quantity of engine oil may increase due to
the fuel that may have mixed with it when the
DPF trapped PM is removed by oxidation. This
does not indicate any abnormality. For the same
reason, the engine oil can smell like fuel; this
also does not indicate any abnormality.
1.1 Checking by use of oil level check button
(simplified method)
1. Press the button before starting the engine. Esti-
mate the oil level from the color of the lamp
that comes on.
Green: Oil level is correct.
Amber: Oil level is too low.
2. If the amber lamp comes on, replenish with the
recommended engine oil.
NOTE:
Provided the engine is not running, it is possible to
check the oil level using the oil level check button
regardless of the position of the starter switch.
