Adding coolant
•
Do not remove pressure cap on coolant
reservoir if engine temperature is above 194°F
If coolant has to be added, a 50/50 mixture of water and
MB anticorrosion/ antifreeze should be added.
(90
°C). Allow engine to cool down before
removing cap. The coolant reservoir contains
hot fluid and is under pressure.
The drain plugs for the cooling system are located on
the right side of the engine block and at the bottom of
the radiator.
•
•
Using a rag, slowly open cap approximately /2
1
turn to relieve excess pressure. If opened
immediately, scalding hot fluid and steam will
be blown out under pressure.
Anticorrosion/ antifreeze, see page 326.
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.
In order to avoid possibly serious burns:
•
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 indicates that the coolant is
overheated.
