Introduction

Regular checks

In addition to the services, we recommend
that you check the following items regular-
ly (for example: weekly, when refueling, or
before any long journey):
• Engine oil level - Check the engine oil
level using the multifunction steering
wheel/multifunction display oil level
check. Further information about engine
oil level measurement can be found in
the vehicle Operator's Manual.
• Coolant level - Please refer to the Oper-
ator's Manual for the correct procedure
to check the coolant level.
• Brake fluid level - If brake fluid has to
be added, see an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center to determine the cause,
e.g. leaks or worn brake pads.

• Windshield washing system - If the
washer fluid level drops below 1/3, the
windshield washer fluid level warning
lamp will illuminate. Add washer fluid
mixed with Mercedes-Benz windshield
washer solvent/concentrate, test func-
tion and check wiper blades.
• Check lights
• Tire condition and pressures – Check
at least every other week. Please refer
to section "Tires and wheels" in the Op-
erator's Manual for guidelines and cor-
rect procedures to check tire condition
and pressures.
