Speed rating The speed rating is part of the tire identification.
It specifies the speed range for which the tire is
approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) The gross vehicle weight includes the weight of
the vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare wheel,
accessories installed, occupants, luggage and
the drawbar noseweight, if applicable. The gross
vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-
cle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate on the B-pillar on the
driver's side.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) The GVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of af ully loaded vehicle (the weight of the
vehicle including all accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight, if
applicable). The gross vehicle weight rating is
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximu ml oaded vehicle weightThe maximum weight is the sum of: R
the curb weight of the vehicle R
the weight of the accessories R
the load limit R
the weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa) Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to 1p si. Another unit for tire pressure is
bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of
1b ar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the load
index may also be imprinted on the sidewal lo f
the tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacity
more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of av ehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant. It also includes the air-conditioning sys-
tem and optional equipment if these are instal-
led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-
gers or luggage. Maximu ml oad ratingThe maximum load rating is the maximum per-
missible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a
tire is approved.
Maximu mp ermissible tire pressureMaximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximu ml oad on one tireMaximum load on one tire. This is calculated by
dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two.
PSI (pounds per squar ei nch)As tandard unit of measure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio Relationship between tire height and tire width
in percent.
Tire pressure This is pressure inside the tire applying an out-
ward force to each square inch of the tire's sur-
face. The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be corrected when
the tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure The tires are cold: R
if the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and R
if the vehicle has not been driven further than
1m ile (1.6 km)
Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact with
the road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits securely
on the wheel. There are several steel wires in the
bead to prevent the tire from coming loose from
the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.All about wheel sa nd tires 279

G WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorb sm oisture
from the air. Thi sl owers the boiling point of
the brake fluid .Ift he boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. Thi sw ould impai rb raking efficiency.

ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Coolant
Importan ts afety notes
G WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is ar isk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool dow nb efore yo ua dd anti-
freeze .M ake sur et hat antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea nt he
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
! Only ad dc oolant that has bee np remixed
with the desire da ntifreeze protection. You
coul do therwise damag et he engine.
Furthe ri nformatio nonc oolants 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 .Orc on-
tact aq ualifie ds pecialist workshop.
! Always use as uitabl ec oolant mixture, even
in countries where hig ht emperatures prevail.
Otherwise ,t he engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nh andling coolant
( Y
page 290).
The coolant is am ixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following: R
anti-corrosion protection R
antifreeze protection R
raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection dow nt o
-35 ‡( -3 7† ), the boiling point of the coolant
during operation is approximatel y2 66 ‡
(130 †).Service products and filling capacities 293
Technical data Z

The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should: R
be at least 50%. This will protec tt he engine
cooling system against freezin gd own to
approximately -35 ‡( -37 †).R
not exceed 55% (antifreez ep rotection down
to -49 ‡[ -45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in accordance
with MB Specifications for Servic eP roducts
310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with ac oolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
i The coolant is checked with every mainte-
nanc ei nterval at aq ualified specialist work-
shop.

Windshield washer system
Important safety notes
G WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nent sort he exhaust system. There is ar isk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to 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 dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps. ! 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-ionised water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give af alse reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
( Y
page 290).
At temperatures above freezing: X
Fill the washer fluid reservoir with am ixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit. X
Add 1p art MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing: X
Fill the washer fluid reservoir with am ixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correc tm ixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add 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.
Servic ew ork, such as refilling with refrigerant or
replacing component parts, may only be carried
out by aq ualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations, as well as SAE standard J639,
must be adhered to.
Always have work on the climate control system
carried out at aq ualified specialist workshop.294
