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.

Switch off trunk lamp if the trunk is to
remain open for a long period of time.
This prevents the vehicle battery from
being discharged.
When the trunk lid is closed, the
switch will reset and turn on the lamp
the next time the lid is opened.
