WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E550 and 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Do not reach into rotating parts.

Risk of death
Freely rotating parts near the running engine and around the drive train can cause serious injuries.
During all work on rotating driven axles the opposite wheel hub spins in rotation as well. This produces a blind hazard area that must be protected from unauthorized access.
