Operation

Driving instructions

Engine adjustments should not be altered
in any way. Moreover, the specified service
jobs must be carried out regularly accord-
ing to Mercedes-Benz servicing require-
ments. For details refer to the
Maintenance Booklet.

Coolant temperature

During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant
temperature may rise close to
approximately 248°F (120°C).

The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature over 248°F
(120°C). Doing so may cause serious
engine damage which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Warning!

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause un-

consciousness and lead to 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 with at least one window

fully open at all times.

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.

Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle

and do not stand near the vehicle until the

engine has cooled down.
