can only be activated when the conditions to perform an oil level check are
met.
So, to be able to perform an oil level check after topping up the oil level the
engine must not be started.

CAUTION: An incorrect oil level can seriously damage the engine.
– Make sure that the vehicle is standing on a flat and level surface
when the oil level is checked.
