Topping up the coolant
G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised when
the drive system is at operating tempera-
ture. When you open the cap, you could be
scalded by hot coolant spraying out. There
is a risk of injury.
Let the drive system cool down before you
open the cap. Wear gloves and eye protec-
tion when opening. Open the cap slowly to
relieve pressure.
!
Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB BeVo 310.1, e.g. on
the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point
of the coolant during operation is approx-
imately 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concen-
tration in the engine cooling system should
be 50% (antifreeze protection down to -37 †).
This will protect the engine cooling system
against freezing down to approximately
-25 †.
