More information on engine oil can be

found in the “Technical data” section

(

컄 page 300) and (컄 page 301).

Transmission fluid level

The transmission fluid level does not need

to be checked. If you notice transmission

fluid loss or gear shifting malfunctions,

have an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light

Truck Center check the automatic trans-

mission.

Coolant

The engine coolant is a mixture of water

and anticorrosion/antifreeze. To check

the coolant level, the vehicle must be

parked on level ground and the engine

must be cool.

!

Excess oil must be siphoned or drained

off. It could cause damage to the

engine and catalytic converter not

covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited

Warranty.

Warning! G

In order to avoid any possibly serious burns:

앫 Use extreme caution when opening the

hood if there are any signs of steam or

coolant leaking from the cooling system,

or if the coolant temperature gauge indi-

cates that the coolant is overheated.

앫 Do not remove pressure cap on coolant

reservoir if engine temperature is above

194°F (90°C). Allow engine to cool

down before removing cap. The coolant

reservoir contains hot fluid and is under

pressure.

앫 Using a rag, slowly open the cap approx-

imately ½ turn to relieve excess pres-

sure. If opened immediately, scalding

hot fluid and steam will be blown out un-

der pressure.

앫 Do not spill antifreeze on hot engine

parts. Antifreeze contains ethylene gly-

col which may burn if it comes into con-

tact with hot engine parts.
