Low Engine Oil Level Warning
Lamp
The warning lamp comes on with
the key in steering lock position 2
and should go out when the
engine is running.
If the warning lamp comes on with
the engine running and at opera­
ting temperature, the engine oil
level has dropped to approxi­
mately the minimum mark on the
dipstick.
When this occurs, the warning
lamp will first come on intermit­
tently and then stay on if the oil
level drops further.
If no oil leaks are noted and there
is no loss in engine oil pressure,
continue to drive to the nearest
service station where the engine
oil should be topped to the ’’fu ll”
mark of the dipstick (see Index).
The low engine oil level warning
light should not be ignored.
Extended driving with the light
illuminated could result in engine
damage that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
In addition to the warning lamp,
the engine oil level should be
periodically checked with the
dipstick, for example during a fuel
stop, or before a long trip (see
Index).
Exterior Lamp Failure Indicator
Lamp
With the key in steering lock posi­
tion 2, a dim indicator lamp comes
on and must go out with the
engine running.
With the key in steering lock
position 2 or with the engine
running, a bright illumination of
this lamp indicates an exterior
lamp failure.
If an exterior lamp fails, the in­
dicator will come on only when
that lamp is switched on.
If a brake or turn signal lamp fails,
the lamp failure indicator will come
on when applying the brake or
actuating the turn signal and stay
on until the engine is turned off.
Note:
The indicator lamp will also come
on if an incorrect bulb is installed.
If additional lighting equipment is
installed (e.g. auxiliary headlamps
etc.) be certain to connect into the
fuse before the failure indicator
monitoring unit in order to avoid
damaging the system.
