HI' indicates a high oil temperature due to low oil level. Oil plays a vital role in lubricating engine components, and when the oil level drops, the engine may not receive adequate lubrication, resulting in increased friction, heat buildup, and ultimately engine damage.
To address this warning:
- Safely pull over to the side of the road and turn your engine off.
- Check your oil level using the dipstick located in your engine bay.
- If the oil level is low, add the appropriate amount of oil as per the recommendations in your vehicle's owner's manual.
Once you have added oil, start your engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. The oil warning light should turn off if the oil level is sufficient.
If the oil warning light remains on or if you're unsure about how to check your oil level, it is recommended to take your Mercedes-Benz to a qualified mechanic or authorized Mercedes-Benz service center to address the problem.
It is important to take the oil warning light seriously, as ignoring this warning can lead to severe engine damage, which may result in expensive repairs or even total engine failure.
