MSolutions The rear window heat-
ing has switched off
prematurely or cannot
be activated. The battery has not been sufficiently charged.
X Switch off any consumers that are not required, e.g. reading
lamps, interior lighting or the seat heating.
When the battery is sufficiently charged, the rear window heat- ing can be activated again. Switching air-recirculation mode
on/off
General notes You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are enteringt he vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated.
If you activate air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows can mist up more quickly, in particular
at low temperatures. Only use air-recircula-
tion mode briefly to prevent the windows
misting up.

high outside temperatures.
When air-recirculation mode is activated
automatically, the indicator lamp above the g button does not light up. Outside air is
added after about 30 minutes.

The coolant is too hot and the engine is no longer being cooled
sufficiently.

X Check the coolant level and top up the coolant, observing the
warning notes (Y page 382).
X If you have to top up the coolant frequently, have the engine
cooling system checked.
X Make sure that the air supply to the engine radiator is not
blocked, e.g. by frozen slush.
X Do not start the engine again until the coolant temperature is

WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil does not spil lout
over the filler neck. Allow the engine to cool
downa nd thoroughly clea nthe components
that have come into contact with engine oil
before you start the engine. H
Environmental note
When topping up the oil,t ake care not to spill
any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmfu ltothe environment.
! Only use engine oilsa
nd oil filters that
have been approved for vehicles with aser-
vice system. You can obtai nalistoft he
engine oilsa nd oil filters tested and
approved in accordance with the
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products at any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Damag etothe engine or exhaust system is
caused by the following:
R using engine oilsa nd oil filters that have
not been specifically approved for the
service system
R changing the engine oil and oil filter after
missing the change interval required by
the service system
R using engine oil additives
! Do not add too much oil.T
opping up with
too much engine oil can result in damage to
the engine or to the catalytic converter.
Have excess engine oil siphoned off. Example
X Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove it.
X Top up the engine oil.
If the oil leve lisatorbelow the MIN mark on
the oil dipstick, top up with 1.0 lofe ngine
oil.
X Replace cap :on the filler neck and turn
clockwise.
Make sure that the cap locks securely into place.
X Check the oil level again with the oil dip-
stick (Y page 381).

(Y page 478). Other service products
Checking the coolant level G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment could be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is arisk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri- bed in the following. G
WARNING
The engine cooling system is under pressure, particularly if the engine is warm. You could
be scalded by hot coolant spraying out when
opening the cap. There is adanger of injury. 382

suseasuitabl ecoolant mixture,
eve ninc ountries where hig htemperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio nand
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist worksho pand the
replacement confirmed in the Service
Booklet.
Compl ywitht he important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(Y page 473).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant during operation will be approx-
imately 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50% .Thisw illp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
approximately -37 †.
R not excee d55% (antifreeze protection
dow nto- 45 †). Hea twillo therwise not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosio ninhibitor concentrate in accord-
ance with MB Specifications for Service Prod- ucts 310.1.
i Whe
nthe vehicle is firs tdelivered ,itisfil-
le dw ithac oolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosio

! Only the washe
rfluid sSummerFit and
WinterFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the
spraying nozzles could become blocked.
Compl ywitht he important safety notes for
