higher boiling point, even in countries with high
outside temperatures.
Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration in the coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze additive in the engine cooling system
should:
Be at least 50%. This way, the engine cooling
R
system is protected against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
R
to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor that meets the requirements
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
