imum AKI Rating, the engine
may produce knocking sounds
when starting at high external
temperatures. This has no effect
on the engine life.
The engine oil consumption is
dependent on your driving style
and driving conditions.
Therefore, regularly check the
engine oil level after refueling by
taking a detailed measurement.
The engine oil consumption can
increase in the following situa-
tions, for example:
• Sporty driving style.
• Break-in of the engine.
• Idling of the engine.
• With use of engine oil types
that are classified as not suit-
able.
Different vehicle messages
appear on the Control Display
depending on the engine oil
level.
The electronic oil measurement
has two measuring principles:
• Monitoring.
• Detailed measurement.
When making frequent
short-distance trips or using a
dynamic driving style, for
instance when taking curves
aggressively, regularly perform
a detailed measurement.

its permissible operating range,

A red indicator light indi-
cates that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
