Regular checks

In addition to the services, we recom-
mend that you check the following items
regularly (for example: weekly, when re-
fueling, 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 en-
gine oil level measurement can be
found in the vehicle Operator's Manu-
al.
• Coolant level - Please refer to the Op-
erator's Manual for the correct proce-
dure to check the coolant level.
• Brake fluid level - If brake fluid has to
be added, see an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center to determine the
cause, e.g. leaks or worn brake pads.
