Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp
The brake pad wear indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster comes on
when the key in the steering lock is
turned to position 2 and it should
go out when the engine is running.
If the indicator lamp lights up dur­
ing braking, this shows that the
front wheel brake pads are worn
down.
Have the brake system checked at
an authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Lamp
The brake warning lamp will come
on if insufficient brake fluid is in the
reservoir (key in steering lock posi­
tion 2 and parking brake released).
When the minimum mark on the
reservoir is reached, have the
brake system checked (brake pad
thickness, leaks).
To test the brake warning lamp, de­
press the parking brake pedal. Turn
key in steering lock to position 2
and the brake warning lamp should
come on; release parking brake
and the lamp should go out.
Charge Indicator Lamp
Should the charge indicator lamp
fail to come on prior to starting
when the key is in steering lock
position 2 or should it fail to go out
after starting or during operation,
this indicates a fault which must be
repaired at an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer as soon
as possible.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure at idle speed may
drop to 0.3 bar (4.4 psi) if the
engine is at operating temperature.
This will not jeopardize its ope­
rational reliability.
Pressure must, however, rise imme­
diately upon acceleration.
Low Engine Oil Level Indicator
Lamp
The indicator lamp comes on with
the key in steering lock position 2
and should go out when the engine
is running.
If the indicator lamp comes on with
the engine running and at operating
temperature, the engine oil level
has dropped to approximately the
minimum mark on the dipstick.
When this occurs, the indicator
lamp will first come on intermittent­
ly and then stay on if the oil level
drops further. If no oil leaks are
noted and there is no loss in en­
gine oil pressure, continue to drive
to the nearest service station where
the engine oil should be topped to
the “full” mark of the dipstick (see
page 72).
In addition to the indicator lamp,
the engine oil level should be
periodically checked with the dip­
stick, for example during a fuel
stop, or before a long trip (see
page 72).
