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.
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).
Low Engine Oil Level Warning

If the warning lamps do not go out
after starting the engine or if they come
on while driving, it indicates that the

quantity of approx. 3.3 gal (12.5 liters).
Engine oil consumption checks should
only be made after the break-in period.
During the break-in period, higher oil

speeds results in increased
