Warning!

ț

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.

ț

Steam from an overheated engine can
cause serious burns which can occur
just by opening the 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).
Doing so may cause serious damage which is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
