Oil level

I thought I would check my oil level but lift the bonnet to find no dip stick check the hand book and go through menu to find level this , is it low or not available ? And why on earth take away the dipstick

Its not available. You cannot measure the oil level just after having the ignition on, it needs time to settle. Try just before starting the car, just turn the ignition on (i.e. Turn key / press start but without pressing the brake) and then select the menu option. you'll then see the level. Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

You have to warm up the engine , switch off and leave 10 mins . There is however a short cut but can't remember the details ?

You can check it when it's cold, it will work, it's just the procedure calls for it after it's been warm.
