Am I being thick.....oil level

AP90 · Feb 14th, 2016, 13:42

Hi

I have a 2013 D4 AWD XC60 and I can't seem to be able to check the oil level
There doesn't seem to be a dipstick and the electronic menu isn't displaying the oil level either I have looked though the owners manual and it seems a bit vague

Any advice would be great, with apologies for being stupid........

Many thanks

Isn't it a case of simply inserting the key and pressing "start" but no foot on the clutch, thus not starting the engine. Then use the scroller on the stalk.

I've found the start button needs a long press to activate the function. Simply press and let go leaves the display grated out.

Volvo must think we are ex-BMW drivers, where the dipstick is installed in the drivers seat?
