Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration inthe coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inh ibitor/ant i-
freeze additiveinthe engine co oling system
should:
Rbe at least 50 %.This way, the engine co oling
system isprotected against freezing downto
approximate ly-35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Other wise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor that meets the requirements
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products Sheet Number 325.

Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with the refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The warning label for the refrigerant being 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. Otherwise, the climate
control system may be damaged. Maintenance work such as adding refrigerant or
replacing components may only be carried out
by a qualified specialist workshop. All applicable
regulations thereto and the SAE standard J639
