If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
!
The cooling system contains a supply
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250,000 km at the latest.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with
an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Benz and
if the recommended mixture ratio is
observed.
Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point.
G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when
driving downhill). This would impair braking
efficiency.
Have the brake fluid renewed every two years
with a brake fluid that has been approved by
Mercedes-Benz and have this confirmed in
the Service Booklet.
i
There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due.
