Windshield washer system and 
headlamp cleaning system*
The windshield washer reservoir is located 
in the engine compartment.
1 Washer fluid reservoir
Fluid for the windshield washer system and 
the headlamp cleaning system* is supplied 
from the windshield washer reservoir. It 
has a capacity of:
3.2 US qt (3.0 l) in vehicles without 
headlamp cleaning system*
6.4 US qt (6.0 l) in vehicles with 
headlamp cleaning system*
During all seasons, add MB Windshield 
Washer Concentrate “S” to water. Premix 
the windshield washer fluid in a suitable 
container.
Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield 
Washer Concentrate and water (or 
commercially available premixed 
windshield washer solvent/antifreeze, 
depending on ambient temperatures).
Always use washer solvent/antifreeze 
where temperatures may fall below the 
freezing point. Failure to do so could 
result in damage to the washer 
system/reservoir.
For more information, see “Windshield 
washer and headlamp cleaning* system” 
(
page 358).
!
Only use washer fluid which is suitable 
for plastic lenses. Improper washer 
fluid can damage the plastic lenses of 
the headlamps.
Warning!
G
Washer solvent/antifreeze is highly flamma-
ble. Do not spill washer solvent/antifreeze 
on hot engine parts, because it may ignite 
and burn. You could be seriously burned.
