2019 MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS instrument cluster

Parkthevehicle on a level surface.
Checkthe coolanttemperature display intheinstrument cluster.The coolanttemperature must be below158 °F (70 °C).
Slowly turn cap1counter-clockwisetorelieve overpressure.
Continue turning cap1counter-clockwiseandremoveit.
The coolant level is correct:
RIfthe engine is cold, uptomarker bar2.
RIfthe engine iswarm, upto0.6 in (1.5 cm)over marker bar2.
If necessary,add coolantthat has beenapprovedbyMercedes-Benz.RFurther information on coolant:(→page 423)

\nWARNINGRisk of burns from hot com‐ponent parts inthe engine compartment
Certain component parts inthe engine com‐partment can beveryhot, e.g.the engine,the cooler and parts oftheexhaust system.
Letthe engine cool down and onlytouchthe component parts describedasfollows.
\nWARNINGDanger of burns when open‐ingthe hood
Ifyou openthe hood whenthe engine hasoverheated or during afireinthe enginecompartment,you could come into contactwith hotgases orother escaping operatingfluids.
Before openingthe hood, allowtheenginetocool down.
Intheevent of afireinthe engine com‐partment,keepthe hood closed andcallthefireservice.
\nWARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromwindshieldwasher concentrate
Windshieldwasher concentrate is highlyflammable. It could ignite if it comes intocontact withhot engine component parts ortheexhaust system.
Make surethat no windshieldwasherconcentrate spills out nexttothefilleropening.
354Maintenance and care

\nWARNINGRisk of injuryand poisoningfrom tire sealant
The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita‐tion. Do not allow ittocome into contactwith the skin,eyes or clothing, and do notswallow it. Do not inhale tire sealant fumes.Keepthe tire sealantawayfromchildren.
Ifyou come into contact withthe tire sealant,observethefollowing:
Rinse offthe tire sealant fromyour skinimmediately usingwater.
If tire sealantgets intoyoureyes,thor‐oughlyrinse outtheeyes using cleanwater.
If tire sealant has been swallowed,immediatelyrinse outthe mouththor‐oughly and drink plenty ofwater.Do notinducevomiting and seek medicalattention immediately.
Change out of any clothes contamina‐ted with tire sealant immediately.
If allergicreactions occur, seek medicalattention immediately.
NOTEOverheating duetothe tire infla‐tion compressorrunningtoo long
Do notrunthe tire inflation compressorfor longerthanten minutes withoutinterruption.
Comply withthe manufacturer's safety notes onthesticker onthe tire inflation compressor.
Havethe tire sealant bottlereplaced in aquali‐fied specialistworkshopeveryfiveyears.
Do notremoveanyforeign objects whichhaveenteredthe tire.
Affix part1ofthe TIREFITstickertotheinstrument cluster withinthe driver'sfield ofvision.
Affix part2ofthe TIREFITsticker nearthevalve onthe wheel withthe defective tire.
Pull plug4withthe cable and hose5outofthe tire inflation compressor housing.
Breakdown assistance367

Damaged tires and a tire pressurethat istoolow can significantly impair braking and han‐dlingcharacteristics.
Do not continue driving.
Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
If, afterten minutes, a tire pressure of200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been achieved:
Switch offthe tire inflation compressor.
Unscrewthefilling hose fromthevalve ofthedefective tire.
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from drivingwithsealed tires
A tiretemporarily sealed with tire sealantimpairs drivingcharacteristics and is notsuitablefor higher speeds.
Adaptyour drivingstyle accordinglyanddrive carefully.
Do notexceedthe maximum speedlimit with a tirethat has beenrepairedusing tire sealant.
Observethe maximum permissible speedfora tire sealed with tire sealant 50mph(80 km/h).
Affixthe upper section ofthe TIREFITstickertothe instrument cluster in a location whereit will be easilyseenbythe driver.
NOTEStaining causedbyleaking tiresealant
After use,excess tire sealant may leak outfromthefilling hose.
Therefore, placethefilling hose intheplastic bagthat containedthe TIREFITkit.
ENVIRONMENTALNOTEEnvironmentalpollution causedbyenvironmentally irre‐sponsible disposal
Tiresealant contains pollutants.
Havethe tire sealant bottle disposed ofprofessionally,e.g. at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
Stow the tire sealant bottle andthe tire infla‐tion compressor.
Pullawayimmediately.
Stop driving after approximatelyten minutesandcheckthe tire pressure usingthe tireinflation compressor.The tire pressure must now be at least130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
\nWARNINGRisk of accident duetothespecified tire pressure not beingreached
Ifthe specified tire pressure is notreachedafter a brief drive,the tire istoo badly dam‐aged. The tire sealant cannotrepairthe tireinthis instance.
Damaged tires and tire pressurethat istoolow can significantly impairthe braking prop‐erties andthe handlingcharacteristics.
Do not continue driving.
Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
In cases such asthe one mentioned above, con‐tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or
Breakdown assistance369

When givingstarting assistance, alwaysmake surethatyou onlyconnect bat‐teryterminals with identical polarity.
Duringstarting assistance,you mustobservethe described orderfor con‐necting and disconnectingthe jumpercables.
Do not connect or disconnectthe bat‐teryclamps whilethe engine isrunning.
\nWARNINGRisk ofexplosion duringcharging process andstarting assistance
Duringthecharging process andstartingassistance,the battery mayrelease anexplo‐sivegas mixture.
Avoidfire, openflames, creating sparksand smoking.
Make surethatthere is sufficientventi‐lation duringthecharging process andduringstarting assistance.
Do not leanover a battery.
\nWARNINGRisk ofexplosion from a fro‐zen battery
A discharged battery may freeze attempera‐tures slightly aboveor below freezing point.
Duringstarting assistance or batterycharg‐ing, batterygas may bereleased.
Alwaysthawa frozen batteryoutfirstbeforecharging it or performingstart‐ing assistance.
Ifthe indicator/warning lamps inthe instrumentcluster do not light up at lowtemperatures, it isverylikelythatthe discharged battery has fro‐zen. Inthis caseyou may neither jump-startthevehicle norchargethe battery.
The service life of a batterythat has beenthawed may be dramatically shortened. Thestartingcharacteristics may be impaired, espe‐cially at lowtemperatures.
It isrecommendedthatyou haveathawed bat‐terychecked at aqualified specialistworkshop.

The systemchecksthe tire pressure andthe tiretemperature ofthe tires installed onthevehiclebymeans of a tire pressuresensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,are automaticallytaught-in duringthefirst jour‐neytheyare used.
The tire pressure andthe tiretemperatureappear inthe multifunction display(→page 390).
Ifthere is a substantial pressure loss or ifthetiretemperature isexcessive,you will bewarnedinthefollowingways:
Rvia display messages (→page 460)
Rviathewwarning lamp inthe instrumentcluster (→page 484)
The tire pressuremonitoring system is only anaid. It isthe driver'sresponsibilitytosetthe tirepressuretotherecommended cold tire pressuresuitableforthe operating situation. Setthe tirepressurefor cold tires using a tire pressuregauge.Notethatthe correct tire pressureforthecurrent operating situation mustfirst betaught-intothe tire pressure monitoring system.
In most cases,the tire pressure monitoring sys‐tem will automaticallyupdatethe newreferencevalues afteryou havechangedthe tire pressure.You can, however,also updatethereferenceval‐uesbyrestartingthe tire pressure monitoringsystem manually (→page 391).
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing situations:
RIfthe tire pressure is set incorrectly
RIfthere is a sudden pressure loss caused,forexample,byaforeign object penetratingthetire
RIfthere is a malfunction causedbyanotherradio signal source
