Did she put gas in the car. Most common cause is a loose gas cap. You will probably still have to take to dealer to have it reset.

That is an interesting way to write ON.

I have an SLK 55 AMG and I wouldn't be surprised if I had engine problems. All AMG engines are hand crafted by a person. Hand crafted meaning put together by hand. Lift up the hood of your car and look at the engine cover. There should be a little plack on it that says HAND CRAFTED BY ..... That is why you can't order and SLK 55 AMG and that is why they are limited production cars.
