You could check the manual! This will tell you the following:
1) get in the car, insert the key 2) without pressing the brake (or clutch in a manual) press "start" (the engine won't start) 3) cycle through the info using the left hand roll switch 4) you'll get to the oil level dipstick. Hth |

Or, if you want grazed knuckles and scratches in your arm, there is a real dipstick hidden away down the front

In the case of the 2010 manual there was an addendum page explaining how the Oil Level should be read as the manual was wrong in several of the English prints and it was not as clear as you succinct message.

I have an XC60 SE Lux Nav D4 Geartronic, FWD April 2014, model year 14.5. The electronic oil level reading is always greyed out and I cannot find a normal dipstick. I have read the manual, any ideas or is it an item for the 3 month check?

Flux,
Thank you for that, it worked perfectly! Why can't the handbook say 'hold the start/stop button down until the warning lights appear'? Derek |

Seem to be quite a few things Volvo omit from their literature or just forget to add!
Because I couldn't get a reading I had assumed all was well - clearly not the case as it would have remained greyed out util I followed the correct procedure..
