2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CLS550 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my CLS550 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 CLS550’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz CLS550 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz CLS550 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
