perature may rise close to 248°F (120°C).
Display Possible cause Suggested solution

COOLANT
STOP, ENGINE OFF!
The coolant is too hot. ̈ Stop the vehicle and turn off the en-
gine.
̈ Only start the engine again after the
message disappears. You could oth-
erwise damage the engine.
Warning! G
Driving when your engine is badly overheat-
ed 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 engine hood. Stay away from the engine
if you see or hear steam coming from it.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle
and do not stand near the vehicle until it
cools down.
!
The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature above 248°F
(120°C). Doing so may cause serious
engine damage which is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
