are continuously
illuminated after pressing button “1” on the instrument
cluster twice and there is no change in the odometer
display field or the low engine oil level warning lamp
comes on, a malfunction has occurred to the system.

If no oil leaks are noted continue to drive to the nearest
Mercedes-Benz Center to have the system checked.
Engine oil consumption
Engine oil consumption checks should only be made
after the break-in period. During the break-in period,
higher oil consumption may be noticed and is normal.
Frequent driving at high engine speeds results in
increased consumption.
