Brake fluid
GWARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbsm oisture
from the air. Thisl owersthe boiling point of
the brake fluid .Ifthe boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. Thisw ouldimpai rbraking efficiency.
There is ariskofana ccident.
Yo us houl dhavet he brake fluid renewe dat

Whe nhandling brake fluid ,observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 276).
Only us ebrake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigab eorMB-
Approval3 31.0.
Information abouta pproved brake fluid can be

iHave the brake fluid regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop in accordance
with the replacement intervals and the
replacement confirmed in the service report.
Coolant
Importan tsafety notes
GWARNING
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 youadd anti-
freeze.M ake surethat antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea nthe
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Only ad dcoolant that has beenp remixed
with the desire dantifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damag ethe engine.
Furthe rinformatio noncoolants 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 aqualifie dspecialist workshop.
!Always use asuitabl ecoolant mixture, even
in countries where hig htemperatures prevail.
Otherwise ,the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
iHave the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the service report.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(
Ypage 276).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the fol-
lowing tasks:
RAnti-corrosion protection
RAntifreeze protection
RRaising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection downt o

The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protectthe engine
cooling system against freezin gdown to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreez eprotection down
to -49 ‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor in accordanc ewith MB Spec-
ifications for ServiceP roducts 310.1.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with acoolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
iThe coolant is checked at specified intervals
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
The engine cooling system is filled with coolant
at the factor ywhich contains antifreeze/corro-
sion inhibitor that ensures protection down to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nentsort he exhaust system. There is arisk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
!Do not add distilled or de-ionized water to
the washer fluid container. Otherwise, the
level sensor may be damaged.
!Only MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit
washer fluid should be mixed together. The
spray nozzles may otherwise become
blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give afalse reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 276).
At temperatures above freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit.
Add 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correctm ixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
iAdd windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round.
Climate control system refrigerant
Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant
type used can be found on the radiator cross
member.
!Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant.O therwise, the climate
control system may be damaged.
Servicew ork, such as refilling with refrigerant or
replacing component parts, may only be carried
out by aqualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations must be adhered to, SAE
standard J639 included.
Always have work on the climate control system carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.

Approach/departurea ngle
GWARNING
If you drive on asteep incline at an angle or
turn when driving on an incline, the vehicle
could slip sideways, tip and rollover. There is a risk of an accident.
Always drive on asteep incline in the line of
fall (straight up or down) and do not turn the
vehicle.
For vehicles with steel springs, loaded and ready
to drive means: afull tank ,all fluids refilled and
the driver is in the vehicle.

ture angles, see (Ypage 130).
Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and the
road surface conditions.
On good road surfaces the maximum gradient-
climbing capability of your vehicle is 100%,
which corresponds to an approach/departure
angle of 45°.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on asteep uphill slope, the front
wheels have atendency to spin. 4ETS detects
this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The
rear wheel torque is increased, making it eas-
ier to drive off.
