even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i
Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
The coolant is a mixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
corrosion protection
R
antifreeze protection
R
raising the boiling point
R
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the
coolant during operation is approximately
266 ‡ (130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
R
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
R
down to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in
Service products and filling capacities
accordance with
MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1.
i
When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled with a coolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
i
The coolant is checked with every
maintenance interval at a qualified
specialist workshop.
