Coolant
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 point
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 antifreeze pro-
tection. You could otherwise damage the
engine.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, Sheet
310.1, or at any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. !
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 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the cooling
system against freezing down to around
-37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise, heat will not be
effectively dissipated.
If the vehicle has lost 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 supply
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250, 000 km at the latest.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with
an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Benz and
if the recommended mixture ratio is
observed. Brake 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 would 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.

compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due. Windscreen washer system
The headlamp cleaning system* and wind-
screen washer system are both supplied from
the washer fluid reservoir.

24-GHz radar sensor system (country
overview)*
The 24 GHz radar sensor system requires
separate approval for each country. When
you are driving in a country in which the radar
sensor system is not approved, you must
deactivate the system using the on-board
computer (Y page 134). The current country
overview can be obtained from a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. The radar sensor system is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities. If
Distronic Plus*, Blind Spot Assist* or PRE-
SAFE
®
Brake* are activated at this point, a
corresponding warning will appear in the
multi-function display to tell you that the
radar sensor system is being switched off.
BAS PLUS* is also no longer available. If the
deactivation does not occur automatically,
you must deactivate the radar sensor system
using the on-board computer (Y page 134).Country Radio telescope
