Brake fluid
GWARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
!Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and rub-
ber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come into
contact with brake fluid, rinse with water
immediately.
When handling, storing and disposing of brake
fluid, please observe the relevant regulations
and the important safety notes for service prod-
ucts (
Ypage 304).
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air. This reduces its boiling
point.
Have the brake fluid replaced at specified inter-
vals by a qualified specialist workshop.
iThere is usually a notice in the engine com-
partment to remind you when the next brake
fluid change is due.
Use only approved brake fluids that comply with the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products. Always check for the identification
DOT 4 plus. Information about approved brake fluids can be
obtained:

Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Take care not to spill any coolant on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
When handling, storing and disposing of coolant
and antifreeze, please observe the relevant reg-
ulations and the important safety notes for oper-
ating fluids (
Ypage 304).
Coolant additive with corrosion and
antifreeze protection
!Use only approved antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor that complies with MB Specification for Service Products, Sheet Number 325.
Using other, non-approved antifreeze/corro-
sion inhibitors may cause damage to the cool-
ant system and reduce the engine's service
life.
The coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze
and corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following
tasks:
RAnti-corrosion protection
RAntifreeze protection
RRaises the boiling point
When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled with
a coolant mixture that ensures adequate anti-
freeze/corrosion protection. Coolant must
remain in the engine cooling system all year
round to ensure anti-corrosion protection and a
higher boiling point, even in countries with high
outside temperatures.

Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration inthe coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inh ibitor/ant i-
freeze additiveinthe engine co oling system
should:
Rbe at least 50 %.This way, the engine co oling
system isprotected against freezing downto
approximate ly-35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Other wise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor that meets the requirements
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products Sheet Number 325.

fied specialist workshop.

Climate control system refrigerants
Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with the refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The warning label for the refrigerant being 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. Otherwise, the climate
control system may be damaged. Maintenance work such as adding refrigerant or
replacing components may only be carried out
by a qualified specialist workshop. All applicable
regulations thereto and the SAE standard J639
must be adhered to.
All work on the climate control system should
always be carried out at qualified specialist
workshop.
