Coolant
Stop, turn engine off
The coolant is too hot.

Stop the vehicle in a safe location or as
soon as it is safe to do so and immediate-
ly turn off the engine.

Only start the engine again after the
message disappears. You could other-
wise damage the engine.

Apply the parking brake (
page 62).

Observe the coolant temperature indica-
tor in the instrument cluster (
page 27).
If the temperature rises again:

Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately.
Warning!
G
Driving when your engine is overheated can
cause some fluids which may have leaked
into the engine compartment to catch fire.
You could be seriously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can cause
serious burns which can occur just by
opening the engine hood. Stay away from
the engine if you see or hear steam coming
from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from
other traffic. Turn off the engine, get out of
the vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle
until the engine has cooled down.
!
The engine should not be operated with the
coolant temperature above 248°F (120°C). Do-
ing so may cause serious damage which is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
