There no dip stick
It cap off and you have to buy a dip stick from MBZ to check the fluid level. Transmission fill /check tube is located in the middle by the firewall with red cap top (see attached pic)

Even though MBZ say it a life time fluid and don't need to be change. Get real..everything included fluid break down. I change my at 50K miles and it shift smooth through out gear change so change it and the filter. Your car will thank you later.
