The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following:
R
anti-corrosion protection
R
antifreeze protection
R
raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 (-37 †), the boiling point of the cool-
ant during operation is approximately 266
(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R
be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 (-37 †).
R
not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection 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 Service Products
310.1.
i
When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with a coolant mixture that ensures ade-
quate antifreeze and anti-corrosion protec-
tion.
i
The coolant is checked with every mainte-
nance interval at a qualified specialist work-
shop.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. If windshield washer concentrate
gets onto hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that windshield washer concen-
trate is not spilled in the vicinity of the filler
neck.
!
Only use washer fluid which is suitable for
lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB Win-
terFit. Unsuitable washer fluid may damage
the lamp lenses of the headlamps.
!
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 a false reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 298).
At temperatures above freezing:
X
Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and windshield washer fluid, e.g.
MB SummerFit.
X
Add 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
information on the antifreeze reservoir.
i
Add windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid
all year round.
