NOTEDamagecausedbyaddingtoomuch engine oil
Too much engine oil can damagethe engineorthe catalytic converter.

Turncap1counter-clockwise andremoveit.
Add engine oil.
Replace cap1and turn it clockwise asfaras it will go.
Checkthe oil level again (→page 351).
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.
\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.
Maintenance and care353

Parkthevehicle on a level surface.
Checkthe coolanttemperature display intheinstrument cluster.The coolanttemperature must be below158 °F (70 °C).
Slowly turn cap1counter-clockwisetorelieve overpressure.
Continue turning cap1counter-clockwiseandremoveit.
The coolant level is correct:
RIfthe engine is cold, uptomarker bar2.
RIfthe engine iswarm, upto0.6 in (1.5 cm)over marker bar2.
If necessary,add coolantthat has beenapprovedbyMercedes-Benz.RFurther information on coolant:(→page 423)

\nWARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromantifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact withhotcomponent parts inthe engine compart‐ment, it may ignite.
Allowthe enginetocool down beforeadding antifreeze.
Makesurethat no antifreeze spills outnexttothefiller opening.
Thoroughly clean off any antifreezefrom component parts beforestartingthevehicle.

NOTEOverheating at high outsidetem‐peratures
If an inappropriate coolant is used,theengine cooling system is not sufficiently pro‐tected againstoverheating and corrosion athigh outsidetemperatures.
Always use coolant approvedbyMercedes-Benz.
