Oil level in the engine

consumption in the "Driving tips" section
e
( page 214).
Check the engine oil level on a regular ba-
sis, e.g. weekly or each time you refuel.
Checking the engine oil level in the dis-
play
When the oil is being checked, the vehicle
must:
I be at normal operating temperature
I be standing level
I have been standing with the engine
switched off for at least five minutes
It may be possible to read the engine oil
level in the display, depending on your ve-
hicle's equipment.
i
If no oil level reading is shown again, check
the engine oil level with the dipstick.
Have the engine oil level display checked at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
!
Have excess oil siphoned off. There is a risk
of damage to the engine or the catalytic con-
verter if there is excess oil in the engine.
