Removing and installing rear seat head restraints
Warning!
For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints.
Adjust head restraint so that the head re- straint supports the back of the head at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an ac- cident or similar situation.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head restraints. Head restraints are intend- ed to help reduce injuries during an acci- dent.
Do not interchange head restraints from front and rear seat.

Coolant temperature indicator
Warning!
앫 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.
앫 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 com- ing from it.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
Excessive coolant temperature trigger a warning in the multifunction display (컄 page 361).
During severe operating conditions, e.g. stop-and-go traffic, the coolant tempera- ture may rise close to 248°F (120°C). The engine should not be operated with the coolant temperature above 248°F (120°C). Doing so may cause serious en- gine damage which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Outside temperature indicator

Warning!
Avoid driving at excessive engine speeds, as it may result in serious en- gine damage that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply is interrupted if the engine is operated within the red marking.
The outside temperature indicator is not de- signed to serve as an ice-warning device and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the freez- ing point do not guarantee that the road sur- face is free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
The outside temperature is displayed in the instrument cluster (컄 page 24). For in- formation on how to select the unit of the displayed temperature, i.e. degrees Cel- sius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F), see “Selecting temperature display mode” (컄 page 157).
The temperature sensor is located in the front bumper area. Due to its location, the sensor can be affected by road or engine heat during idling or slow driving. This means that the accuracy of the displayed temperature can only be verified by com- parison to a thermometer placed next to the sensor, not by comparison to external displays (e.g. bank signs etc.). When moving the vehicle into colder ambi- ent temperatures (e.g. when leaving your garage), you will notice a delay before the lower temperature is displayed. A delay also occurs when ambient temper- atures rise. This prevents inaccurate tem- perature indications caused by heat radiated from the engine during idling or slow driving.
