Checking coolant level
\nWARNINGRisk of burns from hot com‐ponent parts inthe engine compartment
Certain components inthe engine compart‐ment can beveryhot, e.g.the engine,theradiator and parts oftheexhaust system.
Allowthe enginetocool down and onlytouch component parts described inthefollowing.
\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.
\nWARNINGRisk of scalding from hotcoolant
The engine cooling system is pressurized,particularly whenthe engine iswarm. Ifyouopenthe cap,you could be scaldedbyhotcoolant spraying out.
Letthe engine cool down before open‐ingthe cap.
When openingthe cap,wear protectivegloves and safetyglasses.
Openthe cap slowlytorelease pres‐sure.
Parkthevehicle on a level surface.
Checkthe coolanttemperature display intheinstrument cluster.The coolanttemperature must be below158 °F (70 °C).
Slowly turn cap1counter-clockwisetorelieve overpressure.

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
call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (inthe USA) or1-800-387-0100(in Canada).
Correctthe tire pressure if it isstill at least130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). SeetheTireandLoading Information placard onthe driver'sside B‑pillar orthe tire pressuretable inthefuelfillerflapforvalues.
Toincreasethe tire pressure:switchonthe tire inflation compressor.
Toreduce the tire pressure:press pressurerelease button1nexttopressuregauge2.
