Notes on service products and capaci-
ties
Service products are:
R Fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel)
R Lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
R Coolan t
R Brake fluid
R Windscreen washer fluid
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use those products which have been tested
and specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle and are listed in the Mercedes-
Benz Owner's Manual in the relevant chapter
since:
R parts and service products are matched
R damage caused by the use of non-approved
service products is not covered by the lia-
bility for material defect s
You can recognise service products approved
by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscrip-
tion on the containers:
R MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
R MB Approval (e.g. MB Approval 229.51) Other designations or recommendations that
relate to a level of quality or a specification in
accordance with an MB Approval have not
necessarily been approved by Mercedes-
Benz.
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
When handling, storing and disposing of
any service products, please observe the
relevant regulations, as you could other-
wise endanger yourself and others.
Keep service products away from children.
To protect your health, do not allow service
products to come into contact with your
eyes or open wounds. See a doctor imme-
diately if any service product is swallowed. H
Environmental not
e
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner. Fuel
s G
Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine before refuelling. G
Risk of injury
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with
skin or clothing .
Allowing fuels to come into direct contact
with your skin or inhaling fuel vapours is
damaging to your health.

system. Damage resulting from adding the
wrong fuel is not covered by the warranty.
More information about refuelling and fuels
can be found in the "Operation" section. Notes on fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations: R
At very low temperatures
R In urban traffic
R On short trips
R When towing a trailer
R In mountainous terrain
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damages resulting from the use of
such additives are not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty. H
Environmental not
e
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
entists believe to be principally responsible
for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO
2emissions are directly
related to fuel consumption and therefore
depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engin e
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly. Technical data

369Coolant
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R Anti-corrosion protection
R Antifreeze protection
R Raising the boiling poin t
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
topped up with a coolant that will ensure
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec -
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired quantity of anti -
freeze protection. You could otherwise
damage the engine.
There is more information about coolant
and topping it up on Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products Sheet
310.1.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low .If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 °C.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R
be at least 50%. This will protect the coolin g
system against freezing down to around
-37 °C.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 °C), otherwise heat will not be
effectively dissipated .
If the vehicle is losing coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
! The cooling system contains a lifetime
supply which must be renewed after 15
years, or after 250, 000 km at the latest.
Have the renewal confirmed in the Service
Booklet.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with
an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Technical data

371Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point. G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This woul d
impair braking efficiency.
Have the brake fluid renewed every two
years with a brake fluid that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this
confirmed in the Service Booklet.
i There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due. Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approxi-
mately 4.0 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system* and the
windscreen washer system are both supplied
from the washer fluid reservoir.
X At temperatures above freezing point:
Top up the washer fluid reservoir with a
mixture of water and windscreen washer
concentrate (Y page 210).
X At temperatures below freezing point:
Top up the washer fluid reservoir with a
mixture of water, antifreeze and wind-
screen washer concentrate (Y page 210).
Adapt the mixing ratio to the outside tem-
peratures . G
Risk of fire
Windscreen washer concentrate is highly
flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited when windscreen washe r
concentrate is being handled. Technical data
