Mercedes Benz 2008 c300 Manuale Utente

The outside temperature sensor is located 
in the front bumper area. Due to its loca-
tion, the sensor can be affected by road or 
engine heat during idling or slow driving. 
Therefore, the accuracy of the displayed 
temperature can only be verified by com-
parison to a thermometer placed next to 
the sensor, not by comparison to external 
displays (e.g. bank signs, etc.).

When moving the vehicle into colder ambi-
ent temperatures (e.g. when leaving your 
garage), you will notice a delay before the 
lower temperature is displayed.

A delay also occurs when ambient temper-
atures rise. This prevents inaccurate tem-
perature indications caused by heat 
radiated from the engine during idling or 
slow driving.

The fuel gauge is on the left-hand side of 
the instrument cluster (

page 26). Once 

the fuel level has fallen below the reserve 
mark, the yellow fuel tank reserve warning 
lamp
