2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS400 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CLS400’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CLS400 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my CLS400's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz CLS400’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz CLS400? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz CLS400 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
