Coolant temperature
During severe operating conditions and 
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise close to approx. 248°F 
(120°C).
The engine should not be operated with 
the coolant temperature over 248°F 
(120°C). Doing so may cause serious en-
gine damage which is not covered by the 
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Warning!
G
Driving when your engine is badly over-
heated can cause some fluids, which 
may have leaked into the engine com-
partment, to catch fire. You could be se-
riously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can 
cause serious burns and can occur just 
by opening the engine hood. Stay away 
from the engine if you see or hear steam 
coming from it.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle 
and do not stand near the vehicle until it 
cools down.
