When this occurs, the warning lamp will
first come on intermittently and then
stay on if the oil level drops further.

While driving, current fuel
consumption is indicated in miles per

the engine's operational reliability.
Pressure must, however, rise
If no oil leaks are noted and there is no
loss in engine oil pressure, continue to
drive to the nearest service station

With the engine switched off, the
needle reads "0".
Note:
Due to system design, minimum
consumption is indicated at engine
idle speed.
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.
Fuel Reserve Warning 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.
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 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.
