dards and are listed in the

Benz Specifications for Service Pro-
ducts

tion for warranty claims to be upheld. In-formation about approved service

cants. The properties of the service
products could be adversely affected by
special additives and result in damage to
the assemblies.The vehicle operator is responsible at all
times for any use of special additives.
The use of special additives may result in
a limitation or an invalidation of your
warranty entitlement.
