engines. Further information on tested and approved engine oils can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes- Benz recommends that you have the oil change carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica- ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB Approval" and the corresponding designa- tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51. You can call up an overview of approved engine oils on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by enter- ing the designation, e.g. 229.5.
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 The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois- ture from the air. This results in the boiling point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour pockets may form when the brakes are sub- jected to a heavy load. This would impair brak- ing efficiency. There is a risk of an accident. Have the brake fluid renewed at the prescri- bed intervals.
Observe the important safety notes for service products (Y page 191). 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 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 top up the antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the antifreeze from components before starting the engine.
! 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 is responsible for the following: 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 †.
196 Vehicle data
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 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.
