Low Engine Oil Level Warning
Lamp
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.
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.
With the key in steering lock position
2,
the oil level warning lamp comes on
and should go out when the engine is
running.
Tachometer
If the warning 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.
Red marking on tachometer:
Excessive engine speed.
Avoid this engine speed, as it may
result in engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
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).
When this occurs, the warning lamp
will first come on intermittently and
then stay on if the oil level drops
further.
For engine protection, the fuel supply
is interrupted if the engine is operated
within the red marking.
With the engine switched off, the
needle reads "0".
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.
Due to system design, maximum
consumption is indicated at engine idle
speed.
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.
