The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor con-
centration in the cooling system should:
! be at least 50%. This will pro tect the
cool ing sy stem against freezing down
to approximately –37 °C.
! not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to –45 °C), since the heat is then
not dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal parts of water and an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use an antifreeze and cor-
rosion inhibitor which has been approved
for Mercedes-Benz.
! The co oling system has a permanent supply
which must be renewed after 15 years or
250,000 km at the most.
Merc edes-Be nzrecommends that you use an an-
tifreeze and cor rosion inhibitor which has been
appr oved for Mercedes-Benz. Over a period of time, the brake fluid ab-
sorbs moisture from the air; this reduces
its boiling point.

There is usually a notice in the engine com-
partment to remind you when the next brakeflu-
id change is due. The windscreen washer reservoir holds
approximately
3litres on all models with
aw indscreen washe rsystem. On models
with a heated windscreen washer fluid res-
ervoir ora headlamp cleaning system*, the
re servoir holds 6litres.
The head lamp cleaning system* and the
windscreen washer system have a com-
mon supply from the windscreen washer
fl uid reservoir.
6 Fill the windscreen washer fluid reser-
voirwith a solution of water and wind-
screen washer concentrate. Adapt the
mix ing ratio to sui tthe outsi detemper-
atures.
The windscreen wipers leave no marks.
The headlamp cleaning system and the
windscreen washer system do not
freeze. Brake fluid
G
Riskofaccident If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may fo rmin the brake
system when the brak esare applied hard
(e.g. when driving dow nhill). This would im-
pair braki ngefficiency.

Engine control system Controls the various engine functions,
e.g. the engine speed.
Engine number Number determined by the manufac-
turer and marked on the cylinder
crankcase, by which each engine can
be clearly identified.
Engine oil viscosity Measure of the internal oil friction (vis-
cosity) at different temperatures. The
higher the temperature the oil can tol-
erate without thinning too much, or the
lower the temperature it can tolerate
without thickening too much, the bet-
ter the viscosity characteristics of the
oil. ESP
(E le
ctronic S tability P ro
gram)
Improves driving stability and ->trac-
tion when cornering and in emergency
situat ions, e.g. when there is a risk of
skidding.
GPS (G lo
ba l P ositioning S ystem)
Syste mfor determining geographical
location. A GPS unit located in the vehi-
cle receives satellite signals, compares
them to a digital map (e.g. on CD ROM)
and uses them to det ermine the posi-
tion of the vehicle and for navigation
pur poses.
GSM (G lo
ba l S ystem for M obile Communica-
tions)
