The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protectthe engine
cooling system against freezin gdown to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreez eprotection down
to -49 ‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor in accordanc ewith MB Spec-
ifications for ServiceP roducts 310.1.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with acoolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
iThe coolant is checked at specified intervals
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
The engine cooling system is filled with coolant
at the factor ywhich contains antifreeze/corro-
sion inhibitor that ensures protection down to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nentsort he exhaust system. There is arisk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
!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 become
blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give afalse reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 276).
At temperatures above freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit.
Add 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correctm ixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
iAdd windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round.
Climate control system refrigerant
Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant
type used can be found on the radiator cross
member.
!Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant.O therwise, the climate
control system may be damaged.
Servicew ork, such as refilling with refrigerant or
replacing component parts, may only be carried
out by aqualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations must be adhered to, SAE
standard J639 included.
Always have work on the climate control system carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.
