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 en­
gine temperature does not in­
crease, continue to drive to the
nearest service station and have
coolant added to the coolant
system (see Index).
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.
Low Windshield and Headlamp
Washer System Fluid 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 the warning lamp comes on with
the engine running, the level of
the reservoir has dropped to
1 /4
of
the total volume. The reservoir
should be refilled with MB W ind­
shield Washer Concentrate ” S ”
and water (or commercially avail­
able premixed windshield washer
solvent/antifreeze, depending on
ambient temperature - see Index)
at the next opportunity. The reser­
voir for the windshield and head­
lamp washer systems is located in
the engine compartment.
Outside Temperature Indicator
The temperature sensor is located
in the front bumper area. Due to
its location, the sensor can be
affected by road or engine heat
during idling or slow driving. This
means that the accuracy of the
displayed temperature can only be
verified by comparison to a
thermometer placed next to the
sensor, not by comparison to
external displays (e.g. bank signs
etc.).
Adaptation to ambient temperature
takes place in steps and depends
on the prevailing driving condi­
tions (stop-and-go or moderate,
constant driving) and amount of
temperature change.
Warning!
The outside temperature
indicator is not designed to
serve as an Ice-Warning-
Device and is therefore
unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just
above freezing point do not
guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice.
