Mercedes Benz 2005 e 320 cdi Manuel D’Utilisation

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 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 
higher engine speeds

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

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 the fire department.

G

Gasoline engine: The engine is equipped 
with a transistorized ignition system. Be-
cause of the high voltage it is dangerous to 
touch any components (ignition coils, spark 
plug sockets, diagnostic socket) of the igni-
tion 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.

i

Do not use any special lubricant addi-
tives, as these may damage the drive 
assemblies. Using special additives not 
approved by Mercedes-Benz may 
cause damage not covered by the 
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
