Check
Conditions
The difference between MAX and MIN volume is 0.3 liters. Check the oil temperature in the transmission.
At room temperature (+20 °C) the oil level is near the MIN marking on the "cold area".
At room temperature (+20 °C) and low oil level the oil barely reaches the dipstick.
The "cold range" (+40 °C) is reached after approximately 15 minutes idling in the workshop, while the "hot range" (+80 °C) is reached after
approximately 30 minutes highway driving at an air temperature above +15 °C.
Note! Carry out the check at an oil temperature of +80 °C. Select the digital display parameter. Select the parameter for the transmission oil
temperature.
