windshield washer fluid low light

is there one on this car? I ran completely dry yesterday with salty wet roads on the highway...couldn't even see. I wiped the windshield while trying to get some fluid out and nothing came out, well, actually a drop did, but didn't help in my case.

Luckily i had a bottle of spring water, i pulled over and dumped that on my windshield and started wiping. Thank god for that spring water :p I could actually see!

Had to go to a gas station and buy a bottle of blue washer.

I tried looking in the dash and didn't see any light that indicated a low washer fluid symbol, like in our two other MB's...

MB replaced my reservoir because of an apparent defect in its design. I would add fluid and it would later run out of a crack that formed. The problem has since been resolved with the newer reservoir, but the replacement took them practically all day due to its placement.
