Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
X
X Solutions The coolant tempera-
ture gauge shows a
value above 120 †.
The coolant warning
lamp may also light up
and a warning tone may
sound (Y
page 212). The coolant level is too low. The coolant is too hot and the engine
is no longer being cooled sufficiently.
X
Stop as soon as possible and allow the engine and the coolant
to cool down.
X Check the coolant level (Y page 294). Observe the warning
notes as you do so and top up the coolant if necessary. If the coolant level is correct, the radiator fan may be faulty. The
coolant is too hot and the engine is no longer being cooled suffi-
ciently.
X
If the coolant temperature is less than 120 †, you can continue
driving to the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
X Avoid heavy loads on the engine as you do so, e.g. driving on
mountain roads and stop/start driving. Automatic transmission

Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-

Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly. Engine oil
Only Mercedes-Benz approved engine oils
may be used in Mercedes-Benz engines.
A list of the engine oils tested and approved
in accordance with the Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products can be called
up by visiting http://bevo.daimler.com and
entering the MB Sheet number. Further infor-
mation on tested and approved engine oils
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Engine oils which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz have the MB
Sheet number indicated on the oil container
under the "MB approval" notice. The table
shows which MB Sheet number applies to
which engine: CL 500
CL 500 4MATIC CL 600
CL 63 AMG 41
CL 65 AMG 41 MB Sheet number
229.3, 229.5 mm 229.5

In the event that the:
R engine oil brand
R grade (MB Sheet number)
R SAE classification (viscosity)
is not available, you can use another min-
eral or synthetic engine oil which has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz. You must
then have an oil change carried out at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives, as they can
lead to increased wear and damage to
mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri- cant additives will result in a restriction of
your warranty. Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means that it is thick; a low viscosity
means that it is thin.
Select the SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil according to the outside tempera-
ture. The following table shows you the vis-
cosity classes to be used depending on the
average air temperature.
41 Restriction: only SAE 0W-40 engine oils may be used. 398
