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 approx. 6.4 US qt (6 l).
During all seasons, add MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate "S" to water. Pre-mix
the windshield washer fluid in a suitable
container.
Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate "S" and water (or
commercially available premixed wind-
shield washer solvent/antifreeze, de-
pending on ambient temperatures).
Always use washer solvent/antifreeze
where temperatures may fall below the
freezing point. Failure to do so could re-
sult in damage to the washer sys-
tem/reservoir.
!
Only use washer fluid which is suitable
for plastic lenses. Improper washer flu-
id can damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
Operation
Engine compartment
i
The windshield washer system on this
vehicle is heated, so a fluid mixture pro-
duced to resist freezing at tempera-
tures of approximately 14°F (–10°C)
should be sufficient.
Warning!
Washer solvent/antifreeze is highly flam-
mable. Do not spill washer
solvent/antifreeze on hot engine parts, be-
cause it may ignite and burn. You could be
seriously burned.

washer system and headlamp cleaning
system*" ( page 394).
