Low Engine Oil Level Warning
Lamp
With the key in steering lock
position 2, the oil level warning
lamp comes on and should go out
when the engine is running.
If the warning lamp comes on with
the engine running and at operat­
ing temperature, the engine oil
level has dropped to approximately
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 “full” mark
on the dipstick with an approved
oil.
The low engine oil level warning
light should not be ignored.
Extended driving with the light
illuminated could result in serious
engine damage that is not covered
by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
In addition to the warning lamp, the
engine oil level should be period­
ically checked with the dipstick, for
example during a fuel stop, or
before a long trip (see Index).
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.
Fuel Consumption Gauge
While driving, current fuel
consumption is indicated in miles
per gallon (mpg), or in Canada
liters per 100 kilometers (1/100 km).
With the engine switched off, the
needle reads “0” .
Due to system design, minimum
consumption is indicated at engine
idle speed.
Fuel Reserve and Fuel Cap
Placement W arning Lamps
With the key in steering lock
position 2, the fuel reserve warning
lamps come on and should go out
when the engine is running.
If the warning lamps do not go out
after starting the engine or if they
come on while driving, it indicates
that the fuel level is down to the
reserve quantity of approx. 3.3 gal
(12.5 liters).
The warning lamp blinks when the
fuel cap is not closed, or a fuel
system leak has been detected.
Retighten cap and see if lamp goes
out.
If the warning lamp continues to
blink after closing the fuel cap
correctly, have the fuel system
checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer as soon
as possible.
Leaving the engine running and the
fuel cap open can cause the
“Check Engine” lamp to illuminate.
