Transmission fluid level

Warning!
Excess oil must be siphoned or drained
off. It could cause damage to the
engine and catalytic converter not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
The transmission fluid level does not need
to be checked. The transmission has a per-
manent supply of automatic transmission
fluid.
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 display in-
dicates that the coolant is overheated.
If you notice transmission fluid loss or gear
shifting malfunctions, have an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center check
the automatic transmission.
̈
Screw oil filler cap 2 back on filler
neck.
ț
Do not remove pressure cap on coolant
reservoir if coolant temperature is
above 158°F (70°C). Allow engine to
cool down before removing cap. The
coolant reservoir contains hot fluid and
is under pressure.
For more information on engine oil, see the
“Technical data” section (୴ page 374) and
୴ page 375).

ț
the vehicle must be parked on level
ground.
ț
the engine must be cool. The coolant
level should reach the COLD LEVEL
mark in the reservoir.
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.
