Notes:

When running out of fuel, the “CHECK ENGINE”
malfunction indicator lamp comes on and the engine
possibly switches to its limp-home (emergency
operation) mode.

To cancel the limp-home mode, the engine may have to
be started three or four times after refueling. The
malfunction indicator lamp remains illuminated. Have
the system checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center immediately.

Brake warning lamp

The warning lamp in the instrument cluster
comes on with the key in steering lock
position 2 and should go out with the engine

running.
When the brake warning lamp appears while the engine
is running, this means:

there is insufficient brake fluid in the reservoir

(engine running and parking brake released), or

the parking brake is set (engine running)

the electronic brake proportioning (EBP) system is

malfunctioning.

Note:

If you find that the minimum mark on the brake fluid
reservoir is reached, have the brake system checked for
brake pad thickness and leaks.

BRAKE

Warning!

Driving with the brake warning lamp illuminated
can result in an accident. Have your brake system
checked immediately if the brake warning lamp
stays on. Don’t add brake fluid before checking the
brake system. Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts and the brake fluid catching fire. You can be
seriously burned.
