Mercedes Benz 2003 e 320 User Manual

왘

Let the hood drop from a height of ap-
proximately 1 ft (30 cm).

The hood will lock audibly.

왘

Check to make sure that the hood is 
fully closed. 

If you can raise the hood at a point 
above the headlamps, then it is not 
properly closed. Open it again and let it 
drop with somewhat greater force.

The amount of oil your engine needs will 
depend on a number of factors, including 
driving style. Higher oil consumption can 
occur when

앫

the vehicle is new

앫

the vehicle is driven frequently at high-
er engine speeds

Engine oil consumption checks should only 
be made after the vehicle break-in period.

When checking the oil level the vehicle 
must

앫

be parked on level ground

앫

be at normal operating temperature

앫

have been stationary for at least five 
minutes with the engine turned off

G

If you see flames or smoke coming from the 
engine compartment, or if the coolant tem-
perature gauge indicates that the engine is 
overheated, do not open the hood. Move 
away from vehicle and do not open the hood 
until the engine has cooled. If necessary, 
call a fire department.

G

The engine is equipped with a transistorized 
ignition system. Because of the high voltage 
it is dangerous to touch any components (ig-
nition coils, spark plug sockets, diagnostic 
socket) of the ignition system

앫

with the engine running

앫

while starting the engine

앫

if ignition is "on" and the engine is 
turned manually

G

Be careful that you do not close the hood on 
anyone.
