GWARNING
Certain component sinthe engine compart-
ment ,such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Workin ginthe engine compartment poses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and touch only the component sdescribed in the
following.
Oil dipstick and engine oil filler neck
Only check the oil level when the engine is at
normal operatin gtemperature.
XStop your vehicle as far away from traffic as
possible on level ground.
XSecure the vehicle to preventitf rom rolling
away.
XSwitc hoff the engine.
XWait 5minutes.
XOpen the hood (Ypage 241).
XPull out oil dipstick :.
XWipe oil dipstick:using alint-free cloth.
XInserto il dipstick :back into the guide tube
as far as it will go and remove it again.
If the level is between MIN mark =and MAX
mark ;,the oil level is adequate.
XIf the oil level has dropped to or below mini-
mum mark =,open cap ?and add engine oil
(
Ypage 243).
The difference in quantit ybetween marks ;

GWARNING
Openingt he hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is afire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other servicep roducts. There isarisk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is afire in the
engine compartment ,keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.

GWARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment ,itmay
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil is not spilled nex tto
the filler neck .Let the engine cool down and
thoroughly clean the engine oil off the com-
ponents before starting the engine.
HEnvironmental note

also includes al lcomponents, e.g .filters,
which have come into contact with service
products. Any qualified specialist workshop
can provid einformatio nabout this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and car eproducts in an environmentally
responsibl emanner. Compl ywitht he instruc-
tions for us eofthe car eproducts.
Do not runt he engine for longert hanneces-
sary when the vehicl eisstationary. Before carrying outm

.
The coolant is amixture of water and antifreeze
and corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following
tasks:
Rcorrosion protection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraises the boiling point
When the vehicl eisfirst delivered, it is filled with
ac oolant mixture that ensure sadequate anti-
freeze and corrosion protection. Coolant must
remai ninthe engine cooling system all year
round to ensure anti-corrosion protection and a
higher boiling point, even in countries with high
outside temperatures.
To prevent damage to the engine cooling sys-
tem, use only approved antifreeze and corrosion
inhibitor that complies with the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor that meets the requirements
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products Sheet Number 325.
Check the antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor con-
centration in the coolant every six months.
The percentag eofcorrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze additive in the engine cooling system
should:
Rbe at least 50%. This way, the engine cooling
system is protected against freezing downt o
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡[-45 †]) .Otherwise, hea twilln ot be
dissipated as effectively.
If ther ehasbeen coolant loss, do not refill only
with water. If the vehicl ehaslost coolant, add
equa lparts water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor. The water used as part of the coolant
mixture must fulfil lcertain requirements; these
are usuall yfulfille dbyd rinking water. If the
water quality is not sufficient, yo umusttrea tthe
water.

Important safety notes
The climate control system of you rvehicle is fil-
led with the refrigerant R ‑134a.
The warning label for the refrigerant being used
can be found on the radiator cross member.
!Only the refrigerant R ‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant. Otherwise ,the climate
control system may be damaged.
Maintenance work such as adding refrigerant or
replacing components may only be carried out
by aq ualified specialist workshop. All applicable
regulations thereto and the SAE standard J639
need to be respected.
All work on the climate control system should
always be carried out at qualified specialist
workshop.
