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.
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.
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).
Turn off the engine, get out of the
car and do not stand near the car
until it cools down.
Warning!
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.
