Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine
oil.T his coul ddamage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity
rating, it flow sslowly;t he lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity) .The table
show syou which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of
engine oilsc an be significantly impaired dur-
ing operation due to, for example, ageing or
soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommende dtoobserve regular oil
changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake flui dcontinuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake flui dlowering. If the boiling
point of the brake flui distoo low,v apour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to aheavy load. This would impair brak-
ing efficiency. There is arisk of an accident.
Have the brake flui drenewe datthe prescri-
bed intervals.
Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling brake fluid
(Y page4 73).
The brake flui dchange interval scan be found
in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake flui dapproved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approva l331.0.
Information about approved brake flui dcan
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
i Have the brake flui
dregularl yreplaced at
aq ualified specialist worksho pand the
replacement confirmed in the Service
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 arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool downb efore you top up
the antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clea nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damage the engine. Servic

Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio nand
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist worksho pand the
replacement confirmed in the Service
Booklet.
Compl ywitht he important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(Y page 473).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant during operation will be approx-
imately 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50% .Thisw illp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
approximately -37 †.
R not excee d55% (antifreeze protection
dow nto- 45 †). Hea twillo therwise not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosio ninhibitor concentrate in accord-
ance with MB Specifications for Service Prod- ucts 310.1.

WARNING
If windscreen washe rconcentrate comes into
contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
ris koff ire and injury.
