Example: washer fluid reservoir
XTo open: pull cap:upwards by the tab.
X Add the premixed washer fluid.
X To close: press cap :onto the filler neck
until it engages.
On vehicles with the headlamp cleaning sys-
tem, the recommended minimum washer
fluid level is 0.92 US ga l(3.5 liters). On vehi-
cles without the headlamp cleaning system,
the recommended minimum washer fluid
level is 0.26 US gal (1liter). If the washer fluid
level drops below the recommended mini-
mum fluid level of 0.26 US gal (1 liter), a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction display
prompting you to add washer fluid( Y page 148).

fluid/antifreeze ( Ypage 265).
Brake fluid level
!If you notice that the brake fluid level in
the brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the
MIN mark or less, check the brake system
immediately for leaks. Also check the thick-
ness of the brake linings. Visit a qualified
specialist workshop immediately.
Do not add brake fluid. This does not cor-
rect the error.
Only check the brake fluid level when the
vehicle is on a level surface.
If the brake fluid level is between MIN mark :and MAX mark ;on the brake fluid
reservoir, it is correct.

intervals (see the separate Maintenance
Booklet).
You can obtain further information from an

The ASSYST service interval display informs
you of the next service due date.
If a service due date has been exceeded, you also hear a warning tone.
The multifunction display shows a service

Care
General notes
GWARNING
Many cleaning products can be hazardous.
Some are poisonous, others are flammable.
Always follow the instructions on the particu-
lar container. Always open your vehicle's
doors or windows when cleaning the inside.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not
designed for cleaning your vehicle.
Always lock away cleaning products and keep
them out of reach of children.
!For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice
scraper. You could otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces and protective film.
!Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for a few minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked.
HEnvironmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner. Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents rec-
ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Exterior care
Information in the Digital Operator's Manual
In the Digital Operator's Manual you will find
information on the following topics: R Washing by hand
R Power washers
R Cleaning the wheels
R Cleaning the paintwork
R Matte finish care
R Cleaning the windows
R Cleaning wiper blades
R Cleaning the headlamps
R Cleaning the sensors
R Cleaning the rear view camera
R Cleaning the exhaust pipes
R Cleaning chrome parts
R Cleaning the trailer tow hitch
Automatic car wash
GWARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
After the vehicle has been washed, brake
carefully while paying attention to the traffic
conditions until full braking power is restored.
!Never clean your vehicle in a Touchless
Automatic Car Wash as these use special
cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can damage the paintwork or plastic parts.
!Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. The exterior mirrors could other-
wise be damaged.

iThe coolant is checked with every main-
tenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop.
The engine cooling system is filled with cool-
ant at the factory which contains antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor that ensures protection
down to approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Your vehicle has a range of aluminum com-
ponents. Aluminum components in the
engine make it necessary to use antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor that has been specifically
formulated to protect the aluminum parts.
Failure to use such anticorrosion/antifreeze
coolant will result in a significantly shortened service life.
The coolant must be used throughout the year
in order to maintain the necessary corrosion
protection and to provide protection from
overheating. In the Maintenance Booklet, you
can find information on the intervals forrenewal.
The renewal interval is determined by the
coolant type and the engine cooling system
design. The renewal interval in the Mainte-
nance Booklet is only valid if the coolant is
renewed or added to with Mercedes-Benz
approved products. Therefore, only use MB
326.0 antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor or
another Mercedes-Benz approved product of the same specification.
Information on other products with the same
specifications that are approved by
Mercedes-Benz can be obtained at an author- ized Mercedes-Benz Center or on the Internet
at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .
If the coolant level is too low, MB 325.0 anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor should be added.
Have the engine cooling system checked for
possible leaks.Capacity

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nents or the exhaust system. There is a risk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
!Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or
MB WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid
could damage the plastic lenses of theheadlamps.
!Do not add distilled or de-ionized water to
the washer fluid container. Otherwise, the
level sensor may be damaged.
!Only MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit
washer fluid should be mixed together. The spray nozzles may otherwise becomeblocked.
