a qualified specialist workshop.
Use the special DE Frefill bottle when filling
between maintenance intervals. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-BenzC enter with any
questions or, if necessary, contact Roadside
Assistance (Y page 29).
If the outside temperature is lower than 12 ‡
(002711 †), damage may occur when adding
