Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
When this occurs, the warning lamp will
first come on intermittently and then
stay on if the oil level drops further.
Fuel Consumption Gauge
The oil pressure at idle speed may drop
if the engine is at operating temperature.
This will not jeopardize the engine's
operational reliability.
While driving, current fuel
consumption is indicated in miles per
gallon (mpg), or in Canada liters per
100 kilometers (1/100 km).
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.
Pressure must, however, rise
immediately upon acceleration.
With the engine switched off, the needle
reads "0".
Note:
Due to system design, minimum
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.
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.
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).
Low Engine Oil Level Warning
Lamp
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
With the key in steering lock position

, the oil level warning lamp comes on
and should go out when the engine is
running.
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.
quantity of approx. 3.3 gal (12.5 liters).
The warning lamp blinks when the fuel
cap is not closed, or the fuel system has
a leak.
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.
