will increase due to the lower heat transfer capability of 
the solution. Therefore, do not use more than this 
amount of anticorrosion/ antifreeze.

If the coolant level is low, water and MB anticorrosion /
antifreeze should be used to bring it up to the proper 
level (have cooling system checked for signs of leakage).

The water in the cooling system must meet minimum 
requirements, which are usually satisfied by normal 
drinking water. If your are not sure about the water 
quality, consult your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Anticorrosion/ antifreeze

Your vehicle contains a number of aluminium parts. The 
use of aluminium components in motor vehicle engines 
necessitates that anticorrosion/ antifreeze coolant used 
in such engines be specifically formulated to protect the 
aluminium parts. (Failure to use such anticorrosion /
antifreeze coolant will result in a significantly 
shortened service life.)

Therefore the following product is strongly 
recommended for use in your vehicle: Mercedes-Benz 
anticorrosion/ antifreeze agent.

Before the start of the winter season (or once a year in 
the hot southern regions), you should have the 
anticorrosion /antifreeze concentration checked. The 
coolant is also regularly checked each time you bring 
your vehicle to your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center 
for service.
