! Add premixed coolant solution only. Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze separately from each other, could cause engine damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.


If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -35°F (-37°C), the boiling point of the cool- ant in the pressurized cooling system is reached at approximately 266°F (130°C).


491


To provide important corrosion protection, the solution must be at least 50% anticor- rosion/antifreeze (equivalent to freeze protection to approximately -35°F [-37°C]). If you use a solution that is more than 55% anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze protection to approximately - 49°F [-45°C]), the engine temperature will in- crease due to the lower heat transfer capa- bility of the solution. Therefore, do not use more than this amount of anticorro- sion/antifreeze.


If the coolant level is low, water and MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should be used to bring it up to the proper level (have cooling system checked for signs of leakage). Please make sure the mixture is in accordance with label instruc- tions. The water in the cooling system must meet minimum requirements, which are usually satisfied by normal drinking water. If you are not sure about the water quality, con- sult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.


Technical data Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc.


The coolant solution must be used year round to provide the necessary corrosion protection and increase boil-over protec- tion. Refer to Maintenance Booklet for re- placement interval. Coolant system design and coolant used determine the replacement interval. The replacement interval published in the Maintenance Booklet is only applicable if MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solu- tion or other Mercedes-Benz approved products of equal specification are used to renew the coolant concentration or bring it back up to the proper level. For information on other Mercedes-Benz approved products of equal specification, refer to the Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet (USA only) or contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Technical data Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc.


Anticorrosion/antifreeze Your vehicle contains a number of aluminum parts. The use of aluminum com- ponents in motor vehicle engines necessi- tates that anticorrosion/antifreeze coolant used in such engines be specifically formulated to protect the


Anticorrosion/antifreeze quantity


aluminum parts. Failure to use such anti- corrosion/antifreeze coolant will result in a significantly shortened service life. Therefore, the following product is strongly recommended for use in your vehicle: MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze agent.


Before the start of the winter season (or once a year in hot southern regions), you should have the anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration checked. The coolant is also regularly checked each time you bring your vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for service.

Windshield washer system and head- lamp cleaning system*


Warning!


Washer solvent/antifreeze is highly flamma- ble. Do not spill washer solvent/antifreeze on hot engine parts, because it may ignite and burn. You could be seriously burned.


Both the windshield washer system and headlamp cleaning system* are supplied from the windshield washer reservoir. The windshield washer reservoir has a ca- pacity of approximately: 앫 6.9 US qt (6.5 l) in vehicles with a


headlamp cleaning system*


앫 4.8 US qt (4.5 l) in vehicles without a


headlamp cleaning system*


왘 Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield Washer Concentrate and water (or con- centrate and commercially available premixed windshield washer sol- vent/antifreeze, depending on ambient temperatures).


494


Windshield and headlamp washer fluid mixing ratio For temperatures above freezing point, use MB Windshield Washer Concentrate “MB SummerFit” and water: 앫 1 part “MB SummerFit” to 100 parts


water (1.34 fl oz [40 ml] “MB SummerFit” to 1 gal [4.0 l] water).


For temperatures below freezing point use MB Windshield Washer Concentrate “MB SummerFit” and commercially avail- able premixed windshield washer solvent/antifreeze: 앫 1 part “MB SummerFit” to 100 parts


solvent (1.34 fl oz [40 ml] “MB SummerFit” to 1 gal [4.0 l] solvent).
