Fuel reserve and fuel cap placement warning

With the key in steering lock position 2, the
fuel reserve warning lamp comes on. It
should go out immediately when the engine

is running.

If the warning lamp does not go out after starting the
engine, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates that
the fuel level is down to the reserve quantity of
approximately 2.6 gal (10 liters).

The warning lamp blinks when the fuel cap is not
closed, or a fuel system leak has been detected.
Retighten cap and see if warning lamp goes out after
restart and next OBD selfcheck.

If the warning lamp continues to blink after closing the
fuel cap correctly, have the fuel system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.

Leaving the engine running and the fuel cap open can
cause the “CHECK ENGINE” lamp to illuminate (see also
page 204).

Electronic stability program (ESP) — warning lamp

The yellow ESP warning lamp in the
speedometer dial comes on with the key in
steering lock position 2. It should go out

with engine running.

See page 192 if the warning lamp lights up or flashes
when the vehicle is moving.

BAS-/ESP malfunction indicator lamp

The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP
is combined with that of the BAS.

The yellow BAS/ESP malfunction indicator

lamp in the instrument cluster come on with the key in
steering lock position 2. They should go out with the
engine running.

If the BAS/ESP malfunction indicator lamp comes on
permanently with the engine running, see page 188
and 192.
