Additives
! Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Brake fluid
G WARNING
The brake flui dc onstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
flui dist oo low ,v apo rp ockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is ar isk of an accident.
You should have the brake flui dr enewe da t
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
( Y
pag e3 15).
The brake flui dc hange interval sc an be found in
the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake flui da pproved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approva l3 31.0.
Information about approved brake flui dc an be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or
on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. i Have the brake flui dr egularl yr eplaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
G WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is ar isk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea nt he
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
coul do therwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be found
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB BeVo 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Or contact aq ualified specialist workshop.
! Always use as uitable coolant mixture, even
in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio na nd
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularl yr eplaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
( Y
pag e3 15).
The coolant is am ixture of water and corrosion
inhibitor/antifreeze concentrate. It performs
the following tasks: 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 coolant
during operation is approximatel y2 66 ‡
(130 †).318
