Mercedes-Benz GLC : Engine compartment / Checking the coolant level
WARNING Risk of burns from hot component
parts in the engine compartment
Certain component parts in the engine compartment
can be very hot, e.g. the engine,
the cooler and parts of the exhaust system.
Allow the engine to cool
down and only
touch component parts described in
the following.
WARNING Risk of scalding from hot
coolant
If you open the cap, you could be scalded.
Let the motor cool down
before opening
the cap.
When opening the cap,
wear protective
gloves and safety glasses.
Open the cap slowly to
release pressure.

Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
Check the coolant temperature
display in the
instrument cluster.
The coolant temperature must be in the bottom
quarter of the temperature display.
Slowly turn cap
counter-clockwise to
release overpressure.
Continue turning cap 1
counter-clockwise
and remove it.
The coolant level is correct in the following
cases:
- If the engine is cold, the coolant is up to
marker bar
.
- If the engine is warm, the coolant is up to
0.6 in (1.5 cm) over the marker bar
.
If necessary, add coolant that
has been
approved for Mercedes-Benz.

Other information:
The ECO display summarizes your driving characteristics
from the start of the journey to its
completion and assists you in achieving the
most economical driving style.
You can influence consumption by doing the following:
Driving with particular care
Driving the vehicle in drive program
Observing the gearshift recommendations
The inner segment will light up and the outer
segment will fill up when the following driving
style is adopted:
Moderate acceleration
Gentle deceleration and
rolling
Consistent speed
The inner segment will not light up and the outer
segment will empty when the following driving
style is adopted:
Sporty acceleration
Heavy braking
Fluctuations in speed
The ECO display will show you when you have
driven economically:
The three outer segments are completely filled
simultaneously...
Function of DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)
DSR is an aid to assist you when driving downhill.
It keeps the speed of travel at the selected
target speed. The steeper the downhill gradient,
the greater the DSR braking effect on the vehicle.
On flat stretches of road and uphill gradients, the DSR brakes the vehicle
minimally or
not at all...
