S afe Driving
If the parking brake is released and
the brake w arning lamp in the in­
strum ent cluster comes on, the
brake fluid level in the reservoir is
too low.
A leak or brake pad w ear may cause
a shortage o f brake fluid in the
reservoir.
Have brake system checked in a
MERCEDES-BENZ service station
as soon as possible.
Install only brake pads recom m end­
ed by us. If other than recom m end­
ed brake pads are installed, the
braking properties o f the vehicle
can be affected to an extent that
the safety is substantially impaired.
B rake Pad W e a r In d ic ato r Lam p
The brake pad w ear indicator lamp
in the instrum ent cluster comes on
w hen the key in the steering lock is
turned to driving position
" 2 " and it
must go out w hen the engine is
running. If the indicator lamp lights
up during braking or driving, this
shows th a t the fro n t wheel brake
pads are w orn dow n.
Have brake system checked in a
MERCEDES-BENZ service station
as soon as possible.
B rake Fluid
During the course of the operation
of the vehicle, the boiling point of
the brake flu id is continuously
being reduced th ro ug h the absorp­
tio n of m oisture from the atm os­
phere. U nder extrem ely hard oper­
ating conditions, this m oisture
co n te n t can lead to the form ation
o f vapor in the system thus reduc­
ing the system's efficiency. The
brake fluid m ust therefore be
replaced annually, preferably in the
spring. It is recomm ended to use
only brake fluid approved by
MERCEDES-BENZ.
Y our MERCEDES-BENZ dealer w ill
provide you w ith additional in fo r­
m ation.
C harge In d ic a to r Lam p
Should the charge indicator lamp
fail to come on prior to starting
w hen the ignition key is in posi­
tion " 2 " or should it fail to go out
after starting or during operation,
this indicates a fa u lt w hich m ust be
repaired at a MERCEDES-BENZ
service station as soon as possible.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure may drop at idle
speed to 0.5 bar/7.1 psi if the
engine is at operating tem perature.
This w ill not jeopardize its oper­
ational reliability. Pressure m ust,
how ever, rise im m ediately upon
acceleration.
The oil pressure gauge does not
provide any inform ation concern­
ing the oil level in the engine.
C o olan t T e m p e ra tu re G auge
Due to the pressurized cooling
system, the coolant only starts
boiling at a tem perature o f approx.
125° C/257° F w ith an antifreeze-
blended coolant fill protecting
dow n to —30° C / —22° F (see
also "Fuels, Coolants, Lubricants,
etc.").
During severe operating conditions
and stop-and-go city tra ffic the
coolant tem perature m ust not rise
above the red marking.
