may be noticed and is normal.
Frequent driving at high engine speeds
results in increased consumption.
The oil pressure at idle speed may drop
if the engine is at operating
temperature. This will not jeopardize
the engine's operational reliability.
Fuel Consumption Gauge
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.

consumption is indicated in miles per
gallon (mpg), or in Canada liters per
100 kilometers (1/100 km).
Note:
With the engine switched off, the
needle reads "0".
If the oil pressure gauge needle drops
to "0" with the engine running, then
damage to the engine may occur with
continued operation. Turn off engine
immediately and contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer. Do not operate
the car until the condition is repaired.
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.
Due to system design, minimum
consumption is indicated at engine
idle speed.
Fuel Reserve Warning Lamps
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).

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

Engine oil consumption checks should
only be made after the break-in period.
