If engine oil comes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil is not spilled next
to the filler neck. Let the engine cool down
and thoroughly clean the engine oil off the
components before starting the engine.
HEnvironmental note
When adding oil, take care not to spill any. If
oil enters the soil or waterways, it is harmful
to the environment.
!Use only engine oils and oil filters that areapproved for vehicles with a service system.A list of the engine oils and oil filters thathave been tested and approved in accord-ance with Mercedes-Benz Specifications forService Products is available at any author-ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The following cause engine failure or dam-age to the exhaust system:
RUse of engine oils and oil filters that havenot been expressly approved for the ser-vice system
RReplacement of engine oil and oil filterafter the replacement interval specifiedby the service system has expired
RUse of engine oil additives
!Do not add too much oil. If the oil level isabove the "max" mark on the dipstick, toomuch oil has been added. This can lead todamage to the engine or the catalytic con-verter. Have excess oil siphoned off.
Example: engine oil cap
XTurn capCcounter-clockwise and removeit.
XAdd engine oil.If the oil level is at or below the MIN markon the oil dipstick, add 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter)of engine oil.
XReplace capCon the filler neck and turnclockwise.Ensure that the cap locks into placesecurely.
XCheck the oil level again with the oil dipstick(Ypage 266).

stantly, the tire pressure monitor is malfunc-tioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a messageappears in the multifunction display. Observethe information on display messages(Ypage 227).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunc-tion of the tire pressure monitor to be indica-ted. A malfunction will be indicated by the tirepressure warning lamp flashing for approx-imately one minute and then remaining lit.When the malfunction has been rectified, thetire pressure warning lamp goes out after afew minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-board computer may differ from those meas-ured at a gas station with a pressure gage. Thetire pressures shown by the on-board com-puter refer to those measured at sea level. Athigh altitudes, the tire pressure values indica-ted by a pressure gage are higher than thoseshown by the on-board computer. In this case,do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor canbe affected by interference from radio trans-mitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones,two-way radios) that may be being operated inor near the vehicle.
Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally

The tire pressuresare already being monitored.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
The tire pressure monitor detects a pressureloss in one or more tires:
RIf the tire pressure monitor detects a pres-sure loss in one or more tires, a warningmessage is shown in the multifunction dis-play. The yellow tire pressure warning lampthen lights up.
RIf thePlease Correct Tire PressurePlease Correct Tire Pressuremessage appears in the multifunction dis-play, the tire pressure in at least one tire istoo low. The tire pressure must be correctedwhen the opportunity arises.
RIf theCheck TiresCheck Tiresmessage appears in themultifunction display, the tire pressure in atleast one tire has dropped significantly. Thetires must be checked.
RIf theWarning Tire MalfunctionWarning Tire Malfunctionmes-sage appears in the multifunction display,the tire pressure in at least one tire hasdropped suddenly. The tires must bechecked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes inthe display messages in the "Tires" section(Ypage 227).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rota-ted, the tire pressures may be displayed forthe wrong positions for a short time. This isrectified after a few minutes of driving, and thetire pressures are displayed for the correctpositions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, allexisting warning messages are deleted and thewarning lamps go out. The monitor uses thecurrently set tire pressures as the referencevalues for monitoring. In most cases, the tirepressure monitor will automatically detect thenew reference values after you have changedthe tire pressure. However, you can also setreference values manually as described here.The tire pressure monitor then monitors thenew tire pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recom-mended for the corresponding driving situa-tion on the Tire and Loading Informationplacard on the driver's side B-pillar(Ypage 296).
