Low Engine Coolant Level

Warning Lamp

With the key in steering lock position

2, the warning lamp comes on and goes

out with the engine running.

If the warning lamp does not go out

after starting the engine, or if it comes

on while driving, then the coolant level

has dropped below the required level. If

no leaks are noticeable and the engine

temperature does not increase, continue

to drive to the nearest service station

and have coolant added to the coolant

system (see Index).

In cases of major or frequent minor

coolant loss, have the cooling system

checked at your authorized Mercedes-

Benz dealer as soon as possible.

Note:

Do not drive without coolant in the

cooling system. The engine will

overheat causing major engine

damage.

Monitor the coolant temperature gauge

while driving.

Warning!

Do not spill antifreeze on hot engine

parts. Antifreeze contains ethylene

glycol which may burn if it comes

into contact with hot engine parts.

You can be seriously burned.
