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 loss or gear shifting malfunctions, 
have your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center check the 
transmission fluid level.
