Missing reserve fuel message
I have a problem with my new e-class.
When fuel is low, there is no alarm message/malfunction for reserve fuel. Little icon next to fuel gauge is on, but no message on display.
Also, when i switch between menus, I don't see "no malfunctions", it's missing from menu.
Is there any option to change this with DAS ?
My car is '06 w211 e320 CDI (224 hp) avantgarde.

Why fuel level sensor? I see correctly fuel level. Also, when fuel is too low, little red icon, next to fuel level switch on.
I don't see only message on display "Reserve fuel".
I think previous owner change something with DAS.
Can you tell me, please, how to check with DAS for level sensor. What to check?

^^^ I always ran my diesel till it was nearly empty. Twice I ran it out completely 
. It primed itself and fired up just fine.
OP I just remember the yellow/orange light coming on under the fuel gauge on my 2006. The instrument cluster displayed the miles till empty as 0, but there wasn't a special warning that appeared.
PS - my 06 CDI had a 5 speed - does yours have a 7g?
