Coolant additives without antifreeze
No antifreeze protection is needed in coun-
tries in which the temperature is always
above freezing point. It is permitted in
these countries to mix water with a coolant
additive without antifreeze properties in-
stead of a corrosion/antifreeze additive.
Comply with Mercedes-Benz Specifica-
tions for Service Products.
Diesel fuels
Only use standard automotive diesel fuels
in accordance with DIN EN 590. Grades
such as marine diesel fuel, heating oils,
etc. are not permitted.
Adjusting the fuel grade
When the vehicle is delivered, the "Adjust-
ing service products" menu of the driver in-
formation system is set to the normal
sulphur content (in %) in the fuel available
in the country of delivery.
If you refuel the vehicle occasionally or
predominantly in other countries, you must
adjust the normal sulphur content of this
country in the "Adjusting service products"
menu in the driver information system. For
an overview of sulphur content in % of fuel
available in other countries, see
(
page 567).
!
Renew the coolant once a year.
Do not use fuel additives such as anti-
corrosion protection oils for the cooling
system.
!
Filter the fuel before adding it when re-
fuelling the vehicle from drums or can-
isters. This prevents malfunctions in
the fuel system as a result of impurities
in the fuel.
Special additives must not be used as
they could lead to malfunctions and en-
gine damage. The use of such additives
could affect your warranty rights.
