Coolant
Important safety notes The coolan
tisamixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosio nprotection
R antifreeze protection
R raising th eboiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired antifreeze pro-
tec tion. You coul dotherwis edamage the
engine.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, MB
Approval 310.1 ,e.g. on the Internet at
http ://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .You can
also consult aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Alway suseasuitable 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/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boilin gpoint of
the coolant will be around 13 0†.
The antifreeze/ corrosion inhibitor con centra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R be at leas t50%. This wil lprotect the cooling
system against freezing down to around
37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise ,heat will not be
dissipated as effectively. If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Ben
zrecom-
mends an anti freeze/cor rosion inhibitor
whic hhas been approved for Mercedes -Benz.
! The coolin gsystem is filled with coolant
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250,000 km at the latest.
The warrant yisonly valid if you top up with
an antifreeze /corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Ben zand
