Check oil level
at next refueling
When the
Check oil level - at next re-
fueling
message appears while the en-
gine is running and at operating
temperature, the engine oil level has
dropped to approximately the minimum
level.
When this occurs, the warning will first
come on intermittently and then stay on if
the oil level drops further.
Possible cause/consequence
There is no oil in the engine. There is
a danger of engine damage.
If no oil leaks are noted, continue to drive
to the nearest service station where the
engine oil should be topped to the required
level with an approved engine oil.
For information on approved engine oils,
refer to the Factory Approved Service
Products pamphlet (USA only) or contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Practical hints
Possible solution
Check the engine oil level ( page 288) and
add engine oil as required ( page 289).
If you must add engine oil frequently, have
the engine checked for possible leaks.
!
The engine oil level warnings should not be
ignored. Extended driving with the symbol dis-
played could result in serious engine damage
that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limit-
ed Warranty.
