Use the oil level gauge to check the engine oil level.
You can also use the oil level check switch.
Although the oil check switch method is quick and
simple, it does not provide an accurate measure-
ment. Use the oil level gauge if you require an accu-
rate measurement.
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 Engine oil level check using oil level check
switch (simple method)
1. Turn the starter switch to “ON”.
2. Press the “CHK” side of the oil level check
switch and keep it pressed.
The oil level is sufficient if the warning lamp
comes on and the warning lamp goes out.
If the warning lamp does not come on and
the warning lamp remains illuminated, the
engine oil level is lower than the normal level.
After checking the level with the warning lamps,
release the oil level check switch.
3. Add engine oil if the level is lower than the nor-
mal level. P. 12-26
