* NOTE Overheating at high outside tem‐
peratures
If an inappropriate coolant is used, the

Observe the instructions in the
#
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Oper‐
ating Fluids 310.1.
Have the coolant regularly replaced at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Proportion of antifreeze concentrate in the
engine cooling system:
a minimum of 50% (antifreeze protection
R
down to approximately -37°C)
a maximum of 55% (antifreeze protection
