Viscosity describes the flow characteristics of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity, the faster it flows. Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with the SAE classification (viscosity). The table shows you which SAE classifications are to be used. The low-temperature properties of engine oils can be significantly impaired dur- ing operation due to, for example, ageing or soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore strongly recommended to observe regular oil changes using an approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
Brake fluid G WARNING Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air; This lowers its boiling point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill). This impairs braking effi- ciency. You should have the brake fluid renewed at regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter- vals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes- Benz according to MB Approval 331.0. Information about approved brake fluid can be obtained at any qualified specialist work- shop or on the Internet at: http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. i Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Coolant Important safety notes G WARNING Antifreeze is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when han- dling antifreeze. If antifreeze comes into contact with hot engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn yourself. Do not spill any antifreeze on hot engine parts.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed with the desired antifreeze protection. You could otherwise damage the engine. Further information on coolants can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the Inter- net at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or contact a qualified specialist workshop.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures prevail.

Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not sufficiently protected from corrosion and overheating.
! The engine cooling system is filled with
coolant, which must be renewed after 15 years or after 250,000 kilometres at the latest.
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti- freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks: Ranti-corrosion protection Rantifreeze protection Rraising the boiling point If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the boiling point of the coolant will be around 130 †. The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra- tion in the engine cooling system should: Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to approximately -37 †.
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †). Heat will otherwise not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor- rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom- mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor in accordance with MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1. The coolant is checked at every maintenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop. i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec- tion.
Washer fluid Important safety notes G WARNING Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. If it comes into contact with hot
344 Vehicle data
engine components or the exhaust system it could ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury. Make sure that no windscreen 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 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.
At temperatures above freezing: X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum- merFit.
X 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. X Down to Ò10 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit to
2 parts water.
X Down to Ò20 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit to
1 part water.
X 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 General notes Please note that for the specified vehicle data: Rthe heights specified may vary as a result
of:
tyres load
- condition of the suspension - optional equipment
Ritems of optional equipment increase the unladen weight and reduce the maximum payload. The unladen weight is specified in accordance with EC directive and includes: - driver (68 kg) luggage (7 kg) - all fluids (fuel tank 90% full)
Rvehicle-specific weight information can be
found on the vehicle identification plate (Y page 336).
ROnly for certain countries: you can find vehicle-specific vehicle data in the COC documents (CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM- ITY). These documents are delivered with your vehicle.
