What does the coolant light on my Mercedes-Benz dashboard mean?

Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

Do Mercedes-Benz S580 radiators need to be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Mercedes-Benz S580 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What is making my S580 radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Mercedes-Benz S580 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580 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 you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
