Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to check the oil level of a Volvo V40: these vehicles do not have a dipstick for measuring the level, so the level must be checked from the dashboard. Turn on the ignition, and press the "ok" button located on the stalk of the indicator switch on the left of the steering wheel.

Next to it, you will find a dial that you can turn through the various options until you reach the oil level icon. By pressing "ok", you will see the oil level.

Remember that this procedure must be done with the vehicle on level ground, all doors, the bonnet, and the boot closed, and the vehicle stationary and off for at least 5 minutes.
