Adding Coolant
Warning!
• Do not open the engine hood if
you see or hear steam or coolant
escaping from the engine com­
partment. With the engine idling
and the climate control system
switched off, wait until no steam
or coolant can be seen before
opening the hood.
• Do not remove pressure cap on
coolant reservoir if engine tem ­
perature is above 90° C (194° F).
Allow engine to cool down
before removing cap. The coo­
lant reservoir contains hot water
and is under pressure.
Using a rag, turn cap to first
notch to relieve excess pressure.
If opened immediately, hot
scalding fluid and steam will be
blown out under pressure.
The drain plugs are located on the
right side of the engine and on the
radiator bottom .
If coolant has to be added, a 50/50
m ixture of w ater and MB a n tico rro ­
sion/antifreeze should be used.
