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.
Only use brake fluids approved for Sprinter vehi-
cles. Always check for the identification DOT 4
plus.
Information about approved brake fluids can be found in the Maintenance Booklet or obtained at
any qualified specialist workshop.

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 coolant, observe the important
safety notes for service products (
Ypage 273).
Coolant additive with antifreeze
requirements
!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.
Coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/
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 be
used in the system all year round to ensure anti-
corrosion protection and a raised boiling point –
even in countries with high outside tempera-
tures.
To prevent damage to the engine cooling sys-
tem, use only approved corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze that comply with the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products.
We recommend corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze
that meets the requirements in MB Specifica-
tions for Service Products Sheet Number 325. Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration in the coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze additive in the engine coo
ling system
should:
Rbe at least 50%. This way, the engine cooling
system is protected against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
If there has been coolant loss, do not refill only
with water. If the vehicle has lost coolant, add
equal parts water and corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze additive. The water used as part of the
coolant mixture must fulfill certain require-
ments; these are usually fulfilled by drinking
water. If the water quality is not sufficient, you
must treat the water.
