Low Engine Coolant Level
Warning Lamp
The warning lamp comes on with
the key in steering lock position 2,
and should go out when the en­
gine is running.
If it comes on with the engine
running, the coolant has dropped
below the required level. If no
leaks are noticeable and the
engine temperature does not
increase, continue to drive to the
nearest service station and have
coolant added to the coolant
system (see Index).
The low engine coolant level
warning light should not be
ignored. Extended driving with
the light illuminated may cause
serious engine damage not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
In cases of major or frequent
minor coolant loss, have the
cooling system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
as soon as possible.
Note:
Do not drive without coolant in the
cooling system. The engine will
overheat causing major engine
damage.
Monitor the coolant temperature
gauge while driving.
Warning!
Do not spill antifreeze on hot
engine parts. Antifreeze con­
tains ethylene glycol which
may burn if it comes into con­
tact with hot engine parts. You
can be seriously burned.

Washer System Fluid Level
Warning Lamp
The warning lamp comes on with
the key in steering lock position 2

shield Washer Concentrate ” S ”

at the next opportunity. The reser­
voir for the windshield and head­
lamp washer systems is located in
the engine compartment.
