Warning!
Driving when your engine is 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 coming from it.
Possible cause/consequence
The cooling fan for the coolant is mal-
functioning.
G
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 and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise close to 248°F (120°C).
Possible solution
Observe the coolant temperature gauge in
the instrument cluster ( page 24).
If the temperature rises again:
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center immediately.
Observe the coolant temperature gauge in the in-
strument cluster ( page 24).
Have the fan replaced as soon as possible.
!
The engine should not be operated with the
coolant temperature above 248°F (120°C). Do-
ing so may cause serious engine damage which
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
