Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine oil.
This could damage the engine. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to a heavy load. This would impair brak- ing efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the brake fluid renewed at the prescri-
bed intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 360).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.co m.
i Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop in accordance
with the replacement intervals and the
replacement confirmed in the Service Book-
let. Coolant
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you top up
the antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB Specifications for Service
Products 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or contact
a qualified specialist workshop.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture, even
in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Service Booklet.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser- vice products when handling coolant
(Y page 360).
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/anti-corrosion additive. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/anti-corrosion additive is present
at the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant during operation will be approx-
imately 130 †. 366
Service products and capacitiesTechnical data

The antifreeze concentrate/anti-corrosion addi-
tive concentration in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -45 †). Heat will otherwise not be dissipa- ted as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
anti-corrosion additive concentration in accord-
ance with MB Specifications for Service Prod-
ucts 310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection.
i The coolant is checked at every mainte-
nance interval at a qualified specialist work-
shop. Windscreen washer system
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trate does not come into contact with 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 dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water, other-
wise the level sensor may give a false reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 360).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit. Mix 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the infor- mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round. Vehicle data
