Coolant Temperature Gauge; Trip Odometer - Mercedes-Benz 2005 C 240 Operator's Manual

Coolant temperature gauge

The coolant temperature gauge is on the
left side in the instrument cluster
( page 24).
Warning!
Driving when your engine is badly
overheated can cause some fluids which
may have leaked into the engine
compartment to catch fire. You could be
seriously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can
cause serious burns and can occur just
by opening the hood. Stay away from
the engine if you see or hear steam com-
ing from it.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle
and do not stand near the vehicle until the
engine has cooled down.
During severe operating conditions, e.g.
stop-and-go traffic, the coolant tempera-
ture may rise close to 248°F (120°C).
The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature above 248°F
(120°C). Doing so may cause serious en-
G
gine damage which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
