Important safety notes G
WARNING
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 compartment poses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and touch only the components described in the
following. G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particularly when the motor is warm. If you open the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant sprays out.
There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear protective gloves and protective
eyewear when opening. Open the cap slowly
to release pressure.
The coolant level may only be checked and cool- ant refilled when the engine and engine coolingsystem have cooled down. G
WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nents or the exhaust system. There is a risk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck. Checking coolant level X
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehicle
is on a level surface and the engine has cooled
down.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0048in the igni-
tion lock (Y page 135).
On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button twice (Y page 137).
X Check the coolant temperature gauge in the
multifunction display.
The coolant temperature must be below
158 ‡ (70 †).
X Turn the SmartKey to position in the ignition
lock 0092(Ypage 135).
X On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button (Y page 137).
X Press the Start/Stop button (Y page 137).
X Slowly turn cap 0043half a turn counter-clock-
wise and allow excess pressure to escape.
X Turn cap 0043further counter-clockwise and
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar 0087
in the filler neck when cold, there is enough
coolant in coolant expansion tank 0044.
If the coolant level is approximately 0.6 in
(1.5 cm) above marker bar 0087in the filler neck
when warm, there is enough coolant in expan- sion tank 0044.
X If necessary, add coolant that has been tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
X Replace cap 0043and turn it clockwise as far as
it will go.
