Mercedes Benz 2006 sl 600 Benutzerhandbuch

During severe operating conditions, e.g. 
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise close to approx. 266°F 
(130°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.

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to 

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon 

monoxide, and inhaling it can cause uncon-

sciousness and possible death.

Do not run the engine in confined areas 

(such as a garage) which are not properly 

ventilated. If you think that exhaust gas 

fumes are entering the vehicle while driving, 

have the cause determined and corrected 

immediately. If you must drive under these 

conditions, drive only with at least one win-

dow fully open at all times.

앫

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.

앫

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 the engine has cooled 
down.
