For many later models, Mercedes did not include dip sticks for customers to check their own Transmission Fluid. I believe this is still in practice today.
Matter of fact, I believe they have recently also removed the oil dipstick. Now they just have a low level indicator that gives a warning through the dash. Good luck when that system stops working in a few years. I suppose this is some new profit increasing strategy to keep their dealerships making (more) money. Also, helps insure that more cars are serviced at dealerships by "factory trained" technicians. So they have less problems in the long run due to short-cut mechanics hacking up the cars. Theoretically, that is.
Overall, yet another excuse for you to have to take it to the dealership.
They have the dipsticks there, use them to check fluid, then remove them before turning back in to customer.

Assuming this is an automatic you would add fluid through the AT dip stick tube located near the top rear of the engine.
I believe that is Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid , pull your transmission dip stick out and confirm with printing on dip stick
The automatic transmission fluid dipstick is just to the passenger side of the engine by the firewall
The automatic transmission will have a dip stick location on a 1982 Honda Civic. Pull the dip stick to see the color and texture of the fluid.
It is written on the transmission dip stick what type of fluid is used in that automatic transmission.
Through where the transmission dip stick tube.
There is no dip stick in the ML for the transmission box - It has to be done by the Mercedes Dealer who has the required dip stick Hope this helps
Through the transmission dip stick hole.
Assuming we are talking about an automatic transmission, you remove the transmission dip stick and pour fluid into the dipstick tube.
in the dip stick hole.
To check your transmission fluid, look under the hood of your car and locate the transmission fluid stick. Remove the dipstick and wipe it onto a clean rag. Reinsert the dipstick and then pull it out again. Read where the fluid level is on the stick.
Add automatic transmission fluid through the dip stick tube. No kidding!
