the coolant during operation will be approx-
imately 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra- tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50 %. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -37 †.
R not exceed 55 % (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †). Heat will otherwise no t be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in accord-
ance with MB Specifications for Service Prod-
ucts 310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with a coolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
i The coolant is checked at every mainte-
nance interval at a qualified specialist
workshop. Windscreen washer system and head-

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trate does not come into contact with the filler neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or
MB WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid
could damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
! Do not use distilled or de-ionised water in
the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise, the
level sensor may be damaged. !
Only the washer fluids SummerFit and
WinterFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the
spraying nozzles could become blocked.
When handling washer fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 384).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit.
Mix 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Winter-
Fit.
Adapt the mixing ratio to the outside temper-
ature.
R Down to Ò10 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit to
2 parts water.
R Down to Ò20 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit to
1 part water.
R Down to Ò29 †: mix 2 parts MB WinterFit to
1 part water.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB
SummerFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer
fluid all year round. Vehicle data

! The water depth must not exceed the
specified value. Note that the permissible
water depth is less in flowing water. 392

were unavailable at the time of going to print.
Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank,
all fluids topped up and the driver is in the
vehicle.
Further information about driving on flooded
roads (Y page 184). Approach/departure angle
Missing values for the approach/departure
angles at front
:and rear ;were not avail-
able at the time of going to print.
For further information about approach/
departure angles, see (Y page 187).Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
Missing values for the maximum gradient-
climbing capability were not available at the
time of going to print.
Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
i If the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
4ETS recognises this and brakes the
wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque
is increased and it is easier to pull away. For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see (Y
page 188). Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the engine cooling system may
be necessary, depending on the vehicle
type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chas- sis.
The GLA 45 AMG 4MATIC model cannot be
used to tow a trailer. Example: anchorage points for the trailer tow hitch

; Overhang dimension
= Rear axle centre line
For trailer tow hitches fitted at the factory, the
overhang dimension including protective cov- ering is 911 mm. Trailer tow hitch

Maximum drawbar noseweight
!
Use a drawbar noseweight as close as possible to the maximum permissible noseweight.
Do not use a noseweight of less than 50kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load are reduced by the actual payload.
The drawbar noseweight is not included in the trailer load.
