Coolant
Important safety notes
The coolant is a mixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
Ranti-corrosion protection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraising the boiling point
The cooling system is filled with coolant at the
factory which contains antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor that ensures protection down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Refrigerant of the air-conditioning

with the desired antifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
Only add coolant that has been premixed
The air-conditioning system is filled with
R134a refrigerant and a special PAG
lubricant.
Further information on coolants and on
filling can be found in the Mercedes-Benz

damage the air-conditioning system.
Never use refrigerant R 12 (CFC) or
Brake fluid
G Warning!
!
Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air; this lowers its boiling point.
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 (e.g. when
driving downhill). This would impair braking
efficiency.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low.
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized system is
approximately 266 ‡ (130 †).
Your vehicle has a range of aluminum
components. Use of aluminum components
in the engine make it necessary to specifically
match the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor in
these systems in order to protect the
aluminum parts. Using other antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitors without these
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
regular intervals. The brake fluid change
intervals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz. Information about approved brake
fluids can be obtained from any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

The coolant must be used throughout the year
in order to maintain the necessary corrosion
protection and provide protection from
