Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Is It Time for Service on My 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz GLC300 radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Mercedes-Benz recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
