Outside Temperature Indicator
Tachometer
Warning!
The temperature sensor is located in
the front bumper area. Due to its
location, the sensor can be affected by
road or engine heat during idling or
slow driving. This means that the
accuracy of the displayed temperature
can only be verified by comparison to a
thermometer placed next to the sensor,
not by comparison to external displays
(e.g. bank signs, etc.).
Red marking on tachometer: Excessive
engine speed.
• Driving when your engine is badly
overheated can cause some fluids
which may have leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire.
You could be seriously burned.
Turn off the engine and get out of
the car until it cools down.
Avoid this engine speed, as it may result
in engine damage that is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
For engine protection, the fuel supply is
interrupted if the engine is operated
within the red marking.
• Steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious burns and can
occur just by opening the engine
hood. Stay away from the engine if
you see or hear steam coming
from it. Turn off the engine and do
not stand near the car until it
cools down.
Coolant Temperature Gauge
Adaptation to ambient temperature
takes place in steps and depends on the
prevailing driving conditions (stop-
and-go or moderate, constant driving)
and amount of temperature change.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -
30°C (- 22°F), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling
system of your vehicle is approx. 130°C
(266
°F).
Warning!
Turn off the engine, get out of the
car and do not stand near the car
until it cools down.
During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant
temperature may rise close to the red
marking.
The outside temperature indicator is
not designed to serve as an Ice-
Warning Device and is therefore un-
suitable for that purpose. Indicated
temperatures just above the freezing
point do not guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice.
The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature in the red
zone. The engine should not be
operated with the coolant temperature
in the red zone. Doing so may cause
serious engine damage which is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
