Important safety notes

WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts of the exhaust system, can become very hot. Working in the engine compartment poses a risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and touch only the components described in the following.
The engine compartment contains moving components. Certain components, such as the radiator fan, may continue to run or start again suddenly when the ignition is off. There is a risk of injury.
If you need to do any work inside the engine compartment:

• switch off the ignition
• never reach into the area where there is a risk of danger from moving components, such as the fan rotation area
• remove jewelry and watches
• keep items of clothing and hair, for example, away from moving parts

WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particularly when the motor is warm. If you open the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the cap. Wear gloves and eye protection. Slowly open the cap to relieve pressure.
Opening the hood when the engine is over-heated or when there is a fire in the engine compartment could expose you to hot gases or other service products. There is a risk of injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before opening the hood. If there is a fire in the engine compartment, keep the hood closed and contact the fire department.

Checking coolant level

• Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  Only check the coolant level when the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine has cooled down.
• Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the ignition lock (page 121). or
• On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the Start/Stop button twice (page 121).
• Check the coolant temperature display in the instrument cluster.
  The coolant temperature must be below 158 ‡ (70 †).
• Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the ignition lock (page 121). or
• Press the Start/Stop button once on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO (page 121).
• Slowly turn cap : half a turn counter-clockwise and allow excess pressure to escape.
• Turn cap : further counter-clockwise and remove it.
  If the coolant is at the level of marker bar = in the filler neck when cold, there is enough coolant in the coolant expansion tank ;.
  If the coolant level is approximately 0.6 in (1.5 cm) above marker bar = in the filler neck when warm, there is enough coolant in the expansion tank
• If necessary, add coolant that has been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
• Replace cap : and turn it clockwise as far as it will go.
  For further information on coolant, see (page 305).

Maintenance
ASSIST PLUS

Service messages
The ASSYST PLUS service interval display informs you of the next service due date.
Information on the type of service and service intervals (see the separate Maintenance Booklet).
You can obtain further information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or at http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
The ASSYST PLUS service interval display does not show any information on the engine oil level. Observe the notes on the engine oil level (page 251).
The multifunction display shows a service message for several seconds, e.g.:

• ServiceService AA in …. DaysDays
• ServiceService AA DueDue
• ServiceService AA OverdueOverdue byby …. DaysDays
  Depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle, the remaining time or distance until the next service due date is displayed.
  The letter AA or BB, possibly in connection with a number or another letter, shows the type of ser-
  vice. AA stands for a minor service and BB for a major service.
  You can obtain further information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
  The ASSYST PLUS service interval display does not take into account any periods of time during which the battery is disconnected.
  Maintaining the time-dependent service schedule:
  Note down the service due date displayed in the multifunction display before disconnecting the battery.
  After reconnecting the battery, subtract the battery disconnection periods from the ser-vice date shown on the display.

Information about Service
Resetting the ASSYST PLUS service interval display

If the ASSYST PLUS service interval display has been inadvertently reset, this setting can be corrected at a qualified specialist work shop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Maintenance Booklet. This may otherwise lead to increased wear and damage to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, will reset the ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the service work has been carried out. You can also obtain further information on maintenance work, for example.

Special service requirements
The specified maintenance interval takes only the normal operation of the vehicle into account. Under arduous operating conditions or increased load on the vehicle, maintenance work must be carried out more frequently, for example:

• regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops
• if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short distances
• use in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces
• if the engine is often left idling for long periods
  Under these or similar conditions, have, for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter replaced or changed more frequently. Under arduous operating conditions, the tires must be checked more often. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is also available in other countries. You can obtain further information from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning cloths in an environmentally responsible manner.

For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any of the following:

• dry, rough or hard cloths
• abrasive cleaning agents
• solvents
• cleaning agents containing solvents
  Do not scrub.
  Do not touch the surfaces or protective films with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice scraper. You could otherwise scratch or damage the surfaces and protective film.
  Do not park your vehicle for a long period of time directly after cleaning, particularly after cleaning the wheel rim with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaner can lead to increased corrosion of the brake discs and pads. Therefore, drive for a few minutes after cleaning. By heating up the brakes, the brake discs and pads dry. The vehicle can then be parked for a long period of time.
  Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for retaining quality in the long term.
  Use care products and cleaning agents recommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
