'Check Coolant Level' message

Hey guys I have a 2017 C63 S Coupe and was wondering if its normal to get this message considering I live in Canada and temperature has started to go below freezing? Would you just buy coolant from a gas station and fill it up? Thanks.

i got the same thing on my 2017. the colant was low in the tank. the manual shows you how to fill it, tank is on the left side. As for type of coolant, don't use regular.

I used Pentofrost, that is made for Mercedes, they sell them at autozone, discount, oreilly's.

Use only MB coolant. It is specially formulated to prevent corrosion in your coolant system. It is really not that expensive. If your levle seems good then check the connector to the coolant level sensor. Sometimes the pins on the connector get corroded. Clean the connector and see if this fixes the problem.

It has happened twice now. Once in September and just yesterday. In September I added 400mL and yesterday 200mL. I used a 50/50 mixture of the MB 325.5 concentrate and DI water.

Non-MB coolant is perfectly fine as long as it meets MB Specification 325.5 (the anti-corrosion spec you mentioned). You can tell if it's correct by the pink color.
