The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should: R
be at least 50%. This will protec tt he engine
cooling system against freezin gd own to
approximately -35 ‡( -37 †).R
not exceed 55% (antifreez ep rotection down
to -49 ‡[ -45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in accordance
with MB Specifications for Servic eP roducts
310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with ac oolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
i The coolant is checked with every mainte-
nanc ei nterval at aq ualified specialist work-
shop.
