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

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

When to Service Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Mercedes-Benz SLC300 radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 is essential for long-term engine health. 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.
