Coolant
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not
spilled next to the fillerneck. Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components
before starting the engine.
!
Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desiredantifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
You can find additional notes on the coolant
in the following places:

Service Products, MB BeVo 310.1

!
Alwaysuse asuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise,the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.

Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualifiedspecialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Complywith the important safety notes for
service products when handling coolant
(Y page 299).
The coolant is amixture 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 down
to -35 ‡(-37 †), the boiling point of the cool-
ant during operation is approximately 266 ‡
(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R
be at least 50%.This willprotect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
R
not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡[-45 †]). Otherwise,heat willnot
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 Service Products
310.1.
i
When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with acoolant mixture that ensures ade-
quate antifreeze and anti-corrosion protec-
tion.
i
The coolant is checked with every mainte-
nance interval at aqualifiedspecialist work-
shop.
