Engine oil
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Working in the engine compartmentp oses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and touch only the components described in the
following.
GWARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com- ponentsint he engine compartment, it may

Make sure that engine oil is not spilled next to
the filler neck.L et the engine cool down and
thoroughly clean the engine oil off the com-
ponentsb efore startin gthe engine.
General notes
Depending on your driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 liters) of oil per
600 miles (1,000 km). The oil consumption may
be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if
you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be
inad ifferent location.
When checking the oil level:
Rpark the vehicle on alevel surface
Rthe engine should be switched off for approx-
imately five minutes if the engine is at normal
operating temperature
Rall vehicles (except Mercedes-AMG C63/C
63S): if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature, e.g. if the engine was only star-
ted briefly, wait approximately 30 minutes
before carrying out the measurement
The oil level of the Mercedes-AMG C63/C 63 S
must be checked only when the engine is at
normal operating temperature.

pressur emay briefly ris etoapproximately
50 0k Pa (5 bar/7 3psi).
Do not swi tcho ff th etirei nflation com -
pressor during this phase .
XLet thetirei nflation compressor run for a
maximum of te nminutes. The tire should then
hav eattained apressur eofatl east 200kPa
(2. 0b ar/2 9psi).
If ap ressur eof200 kPa( 2.0b ar/29 psi) has
been attained after fiv eminutes, see "Tir epres-

Ypage 304).
If at irep ressur eof200 kPa(2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not beena ttained after five minutes ,see "Tire
pressure not reached" (
Ypag e303).
If tire sealant has escaped, clea nitoff affected
area sasq uickly as possible. Use plain water i

possible.
If you rclothes are soiled with tire sealant, have
them cleaned with perchloroethylene at adry
cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If at ire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not beena ttained after ten minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escap ewheny ou
unscrew the filler hose.
XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse approx- imately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After amaximu moften minutes ,the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and atire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
