  2. Start the engine.

  3. Select “Information” on the Home screen to display the vehicle status monitor.

    Measurement of the engine oil level begins. Do not depress the accelerator pedal during the measurement.

     

    If measurement conditions not shown on the display are not met such as when warm-up operation has not been completed due to low outdoor temperatures, “Engine On: No” may be displayed even if the engine is running or the measurement error screen may be displayed after measurement starts. In this case, drive the vehicle for a certain period of time to complete the warm-up operation, stop the engine and leave it for about 10 minutes, and then perform the measurement procedure again.
