Default Is there a way to measure DEF fluid quantity?

The manual says there is a way to check DEF fluid level, but I don't appear to have "Next Service" under my Vehicle Info. Anybody else?

Was the car running? Or did you just press the start button without your foot on the gas? You don't want the car to be running to see that option. I was able to see oil mileage left and DEF mileage left. However, I didn't see how much volume I needed to add.

I know it wouldn't let me check the oil while running but yeah, that must be it despite it being totally opposite for every other vehicle I've owned. BMW has something similar but you have to have it running in order to check the service intervals. I'll check it out the next time I'm out in the garage. Thanks.

If you have the LR Remote app you can check. We’ll sort of. It tells you how much to fill it up.
Go to Assistance - Vehicle Health Report - DEF drop down.

What year do you have? I don't have the DEF or the Diesel Particulate Filter under vehicle health report.

Was serviced in March (right before lockdown) and the infotainment was updated too.

That sounds interesting, but I don't appear to even have a vehicle health report available!

It’s in the Assistance tab at the bottom.

What version of LR Remote do you have? The last tab, Settings, at the bottom displays the app version. I’m on 1.8 (179).

I'm on v. 1.80.1. I have the same stuff on your pic above, just no vehicle health report.

That’s strange.
I’ve always had the health report. It alerts me when service is due or the wiper fluid or DEF is low. Similar to what’s on the vehicle display.
What do you have for subscriptions in the app? It’s under settings. I have, Pro Services, Premium and Protect.
