and there is no change in the
multifunction indicator or the low engine
oil level warning comes on, a
malfunction has occurered to the
system. Perform the engine oil level
check with the dipstick.
If no oil leaks are noted continue to
drive to the nearest Mercedes-Benz
dealer to have the system checked.
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.
