2007, where is the dipstick?

HI, I want to check my oil and and the digital dashboard oil checker runs but never completes the check and displays an answer.
Im looking for the dipstick, All of the google searches I've done point to the dipstick being in the trunk panel with the oil and water but i think that is a different model.
Does anyone know where it is in the 2007?
Thanks

You don't have one. They did away with it with the 987. Digital is all you get.

I think it last appeared on the 2005 model.

Edit: Apparently I was wrong.

If you check it before the car is warmed up, it only takes a few seconds.
It's when the car is warm that the timer indicates "forever" for the oil check.
If it doesn't check quickly when the car is cold, then there is a problem.

When you start from cold, turn the key to 'on' but don't start.

Watch the dash gauge.

That's probably the only time it's accurate.

Get in the habit of always doing it when you start it.
