What car does not have a dipstick? Plus why would you want to? The only idea i have is to drop the pan?

i'm not familiar with your car since it's a newer version. on the workshop there is an oil level dipstick that the mechs use as a special tool. you can buy this one. or there is some other way to check the level using the instrument cluster. maybe your car has the oil level/temperature/quality sensor that goes as one unit. try to read the manual thoroughly.

hope this helps...

If you "page through" the different functions of the car's computer using the thumbwheel-type switch on the turn signal stalk, you can call up a graphic display of the engine oil level.  Of course, you can't see the oil itself, so you can't tell how dirty it is -- only if you need to add more.
