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 Center
check the transmission.
In order to avoid any possibly serious burns:
ț
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.

Using a rag, slowly open the cap approx-
imately ½ turn to relieve excess pres-

hot fluid and steam will be blown out un-
der pressure.
The coolant expansion tank is located on
the passenger side of the engine compart-

Continue turning the cap to the left and
remove it.

neck.
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.
