yes you can . go to the setting and manipulate the complicated keys and you will find the way you want.

The dipstick is located near the back of the engine near the engine firewall (on top). Also its a red color. You shouldn't miss it. It is not true that you don't need to change the fluid for 200,000 miles like someone said above. Mercedes recommends changing it at 50,000 miles and that's when I had mine done to protect my warranty by following the guidelines.

Replace the battery in the remote control, clean the emitter lens on the remote control, and clean the face of your receiver. Should solve the problem.

You will need your transmission tested or checked out

The Turbine Sensor may be the one closest to the engine
and is any indication of input speed from the converter,
vs: the other trans sensors that are farther back on the case.

Now the issue is, can you get your hand between the floor pan
to change it,if it is bad.

the operators guide, covers this. the dealer has it. put it back on glove box for next time change. (yes, i too forget every year, too many cars etc)

I agree that the fuel relay is likely the problem.

ESP - Electronic Stability Program.. Stability control uses clever electronics and a car's braking system to prevent skids during emergency maneuvers.

The easiest way to disable the alarm is simply to cut the power wire to the alarm horn. When you have more time, you can try to locate the actual power wire to the alarm, which is usually hidden so thieves can't find it.

This is common on the CLK 500, but usually its just that the remote control wears out. I have changed mine twice already in 70,000 miles. Buy a new remote key fob and it likely will solve your problems if a simple battery change did not do the job. Always try that first and use top grade batteries, not those from the dollar store, because they fail too soon.

It stands for "

Anti-lock braking system"

The ABS system prevents the wheels from skidding in low-traction situations.

Changing wiper blades on a CLK500 is the same as on any car. They just slide on and off and are held on with a tiny metal clip on the end. The instructions are on the side of the wiper blade box when you purchase them.

There is no dip stick to check the oil on a CLK 500. The oil level is checked electronically on the instrument panel, in the settings menu--operated using the + - and menu buttons on the steering wheel.. The car must be on level ground and not running, with ignition on accessory.

There is no way to push start an automatic transmission equipped CLK 500.

I just finished changing the battery myself on my own 2006 CLK500, so its clear in my mind. The battery is located under the hood (near the firewall) on the passengers side, just under the black plastic air cleaner housing, that is held in place by 3 metal clips. You need to unclip 3 clips, lift the air cleaner housing up and out to expose the 12V battery. You need a 10mm hex driver to remove the post clamps and a 13mm socket on the end of a 16 inch extension with ratchet to remove the 2 battery hold-down bolts, that are a bit hard to see without a flashlight (from the top, looking down). Remove the 13mm nuts and the bracket that holds the base of the battery in place and remove the battery. Installation is the reverse. Don't forget to install the battery acid drain hose and elbow, by removing it from the old battery. (It doesn't come with the new battery ($224.00 retail for new 12V battery). Also $35 core charge from Mercedes. That's it. And you'll have to reset your clock.

It's easy. There is a little lever that you need to pull down and towards you (when seated) in drivers seat--located under the dash console, just to the right of the emergency brake release lever. The reason its hard to find, is that it is nicely tucked flush with the underside of the dash console, right about where your left knee would rub, if it stuck out, so it makes sense that its tucked away. But like anything, once you know where it is, its a piece of cake to find it.

is the check engine light on? if so this will lead you in the right direction once you get the code.
