X Top up with the amount of oil required .
i The difference in quantity between the
minimum mark and maximum mark is
approximately 2 litres.
! Do not add too much oil. If too much oil
is added and the oil level is above the max-
imum mark on the dipstick, the engine or
catalytic converter could be damaged.
Have excess oil siphoned off.

X
Turn the key to position 2(Y page 182) in
the ignition lock.
X Check the coolant temperature gauge in
the instrument cluster. G
Risk of injury
The cooling system is pressurised. Therefore,
only unscrew the cap once the engine has
cooled down. The coolant temperature gauge
must display less than 70 †. Otherwise, you
could be scalded if hot coolant escapes.
The coolant expansion tank is located in the
engine compartment on the right when
viewed in the direction of travel. X
Slowly turn cap :half a turn anti-clock-
wise and allow excess pressure to escape.
X Turn cap :further anti-clockwise and
remove it.
There is sufficient coolant in expansion
tank ;if the coolant is level with marker
bar =in the filler neck when cold or
approximately 1.5 cm higher when hot.
X Top up the coolant if necessary.
X Replace cap :and tighten all the way to
the stop.
For further information on coolant, see . Windscreen washer system/head-
lamp cleaning system
The washer fluid reservoir for the windscreen
washer system and headlamp cleaning sys-
tem* is located in the engine compartment on the left-hand side when viewed in the
direction of travel.
i
Add windscreen washer concentrate to
the washer fluid all year round. G
Risk of fire
Windscreen washer fluid is highly flammable.
Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibi-
ted when handling washer fluid concentrate.
! Only use windscreen washer fluid which
is suitable for plastic lamp lenses. Unsuit-
able windscreen washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lamp lenses of the head-
lamps.
X Mix the windscreen washer fluid in a con-
tainer beforehand.
X At temperatures above freezing:
fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mix of
water and windscreen washer concentrate
(e.g. MB SummerFit).
X At temperatures below freezing:
fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mix of
water, antifreeze additive and windscreen
washer concentrate (e.g. MB WinterFit).
Adapt the mixing ratio to the outside tem-
peratures.
X To open: pull cap:upwards by the tab.
X Top up with the premixed washer fluid.

X Remove the fire extinguisher from the
stowage compartment. Vehicle tool kit and jack
The vehicle tool kit and the jack are located
under the boot floor. G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
You must use axle stands if you are carrying
out work on the vehicle.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay.
Otherwise, the jack will not be able to achieve
its load-bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise the
vehicle as described, it could slip off the jack
(e.g. if the engine is started or if a door or the
boot lid is opened or closed) and you could be
seriously injured.
i When using the jack, you should also
observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre"
section (Y page 373).

Notes
G
Risk of accident
The on-board computer detects and shows
messages or warnings from certain systems
only. You should therefore make sure your
vehicle is operating safely at all times. Other-
wise, you may cause an accident.
Certain display messages are accompanied
by a warning tone or a continuous tone.
The display messages in the multi-function
display are white, yellow or red. Red display
messages have the highest priority.
Please respond in accordance with the dis-
play messages and follow the additional
notes in this Owner's Manual. G
Risk of accident
If the instrument cluster or the multi-function
display fails, it can no longer show any display
messages.
You will not then be able to see information
about the vehicle status, such as speed, out-
side temperature, warning and indicator
lamps, display messages or the failure of sys-
tems. Handling characteristics may be affec-
ted. Adjust your driving style and speed
accordingly.
Immediately consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
When you stop and park the vehicle, please
observe the instructions provided for HOLD
(Y page 245) and parking (Y page 204).
Calling up display messages The on-board computer stores certain display
messages which can be called up later.316

and autumn. G
Risk of accident
The wiper arms could start moving and cause
an injury if you leave the windscreen wipers
switched on.
Remove the key from the ignition lock before
