2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coolant in Tampa, FL

These symptoms can relate to coolant condition or a leak, so an inspection is important. Do not open the cooling system when it is hot or recently running because it is under pressure. Check concerns only when the system is cold and book service if a symptom appears.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The replacement coolant is the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. The pressure test helps distinguish routine coolant maintenance from a leak requiring repair. Inspection is performed as part of assessing the cooling system's condition.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

That schedule is the reference for routine maintenance on this vehicle. Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points, especially if a symptom appears. A pressure test may identify a leak that requires attention separately from a scheduled coolant service.

• Follow the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during a service visit
• Inspect for leaks when the level drops or symptoms appear

The correct choice is determined by the manufacturer's specification for this vehicle. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, so it should not be used to select replacement coolant. Mercedes-Benz of Tampa can drain and refill the system with the specified coolant during service.

• Use the manufacturer's specified coolant type
• Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

A level that keeps dropping points to a leak rather than normal consumption and should be inspected. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A pressure test can help identify whether the system needs repair in addition to coolant service.

• Top-off restores level only
• Repeated level loss can indicate a leak
• Check the system only when it is cold
