Multifunction Indicator
Turn electronic key in steering lock to
position 2 and wait until the message
"DISPLAY OIL LEVEL?" appears in
the multifunction indicator.
Within 1 second press button
0 twice.
The following messages are available:
OIL LEVEL OKAY
ADD 1.0 Q OF OIL (Canada: 1.0 l)
ADD 1.5 Q OF OIL (Canada: 1.5 l)
ADD 2.0 Q OF OIL (Canada: 2.0 l)
OIL LEVEL AT MINIMUM
Add oil to upper (max) mark of the
dipstick
OIL LEVEL BELOW MINIMUM
Add oil to upper (max) mark of the
dipstick
OIL LEVEL ABOVE MAX
Do not overfill the engine. Excessive
oil must be drained or siphoned. It
could cause damage to engine and
catalytic converter not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
The symbol
flashes in the
multifunction indicator if a proper oil
level check cannot be performed.
The oil level check can be repeated
after a short while.
Perform the oil level check with the
dipstick, if it cannot be completed via
the multifunction indicator.
In this case we recommend that you
have the system checked at a
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Bleeding of Diesel Fuel System
If the engine ran out of fuel, the fuel
system has to be purged of air after
refilling tank.
Turn the electronic key in steering lock
fully to the right and crank engine (for
up to 40 seconds maximum). Only
release key after engine fires evenly.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Level
The transmission has a permanent fill
of automatic transmission fluid.
Regular automatic transmission fluid
level checks and changes are not
required. For this reason the dipstick is
omitted.
If you notice fluid leaks or gear shifting
malfunctions, have your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer check the
transmission fluid level.
