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.
Fuel Consumption Gauge
While driving, instantaneous fuel
consumption is indicated in miles per
gallon (mpg), or in Canada liters per
100 kilometers (I/100 km).
With the engine switched off, the
needle reads "0".
Due to system design, maximum
consumption is indicated at idle speed.
Tachometer
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.
For engine protection, the fuel supply
is interrupted if the engine is operated
within the red marking.
Fuel Reserve and Fuel Cap
placement Warning Lamps
With the key in steering lock position
2, the fuel reserve warning lamps
should come on and go out with the
engine running.
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. 2.6 gal (10 liters).
The warning lamp blinks when the fuel
cap is not closed, or a fuel system leak
has been detected. Retighten cap and
see if lamp goes out.
If the warning lamp continues to blink
after closing the fuel cap correctly,
have the fuel system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible.
Leaving the engine running and the
fuel cap open can cause the "Check
Engine" lamp to illuminate.
