2002 c240
New owner of a 2002 c240, with questions

So I just bought a 2002 c240 and I'm totally new to the world of MB. I'm wondering what the reddish/orange button is in the middle of the dash?

The one directly above the CD changer in this picture (with the white triangle on it): http://4-photos.ebizautos.com/used-2...7384-8-640.jpg

Also, how often should I get the oil changed? The computer says i have 9800 miles till my next one. That seems like an awfully long time compared to my 2003 ford escape. Is it legit? should I follow it?

The red triangle button is for your hazzard lights.

Yes get the oil changed at the specified interval. Remember to use synthetic oil.

Enjoy the car! I've had my 03 240 for a year and a half, and besides normal wear items it hasn't really missed a beat. Put money away when you car for repairs though as it won't be a cheap fix (generally).

You can use a long (48 inch) zip tie to check transmission oil & motor oil. $8 for pack of 10
