Operating fluids

Notes on operating fluids

NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles

• Observe the notes in the Supplement. You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers.

WARNING Risk of injury due to harmful operating fluids

Operating fluids can be toxic.

• When using, storing, and disposing of operating fluids, observe the imprints on the respective original containers.
• Always keep operating fluids in the sealed original container.
• Always keep children away from operating fluids.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Pollution of the environment due to irresponsible disposal of operating fluids

Incorrect disposal of operating fluids can cause considerable damage to the environment.

• Dispose of operating fluids in an environmentally responsible manner.

Operating fluids include the following:

• Fuels
• Lubricants
• Coolant
• Brake fluid
• Windshield washer fluid
• Climate control system refrigerant

Only use products approved by Mercedes-Benz. Damage caused by the use of products that have not been approved is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz warranty or goodwill gestures.

The operating fluids approved by Mercedes-Benz can be identified by the following inscriptions on the container:

• MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
• MB-Approval (e.g. MB-Approval 229.51) Further information on approved operating fluids:
• in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for operating fluids by entering the designation
• At a qualified specialist workshop

WARNING Risk of fire or explosion from fuel

Fuels are highly flammable.

• Fire, open flames, smoking, and creating sparks must be avoided.
• Before and during refueling, switch off the vehicle and, if installed, the stationary heater

WARNING Risk of injury from fuels

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your health.

• Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
• Do not inhale fuel vapor.
• Keep children away from fuel.
• Keep doors and windows closed during the refueling process.

If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:

• Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with soap and water.
• If fuel comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention immediately.
• If you swallow fuel, seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
• Change immediately out of clothing that has come into contact with fuel.

Flexible-fuel vehicles can be refueled with the following
fuel types:

• premium-grade unleaded gasoline
• E85 fuel
• a mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade unleaded gasoline

Flexible-fuel vehicles can be identified by the Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the inside of the fuel filler flap. Depending on the country, the fuels you can use in your vehicle may differ from the information in the Operator’s Manual. The fuels that have been approved for your vehicle can be found on the instruction label on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Information on fuel quality for vehicles with a gasoline engine
Observe the notes on operating fluids

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine, and the emission control system.

• Only refuel with low-sulfur spark-ignition engine fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

• diesel
• Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
• Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
• Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with the wrong fuel:

• Do not switch on the vehicle.
• Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sulfur, it may produce unpleasant odors.
Refuel using only fuel that has at least the octane number specified on the information label on the fuel filler flap (/ page 200). Otherwise, engine output may be reduced and fuel consumption increased.
For maximum engine output: refuel using only pre-mium-grade unleaded gasoline with an octane number of at least 91 AKI/95 RON.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also refuel with regular unleaded gasoline with at least 87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine output and increase fuel consumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower RON.

NOTE Premature engine wear through unleaded regular gasoline

Impairment of the longevity and performance of the engine. If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavailable and you have to refuel using unleaded regular gasoline:

• Only fill the fuel tank to half full with unleaded regular gasoline and refill it as soon as possible with unleaded premium-grade gasoline.
• Do not drive at the maximum design speed.
• Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3000 rpm.

Further information on fuel is available at the following locations:

• At a gas station
• At a qualified specialist workshop
• On the https://www.mbusa.com (USA only)

Information on additives in gasoline (vehicles with gasoline engines)
Observe the notes on operating fluids

NOTE Damage from the use of unsuitable additives

Even small amounts of the wrong additive may lead to malfunctions occurring.

•  Only add cleaning additives recommended by Mercedes-Benz to the fuel.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use brand-name fuels with additives. In some countries, the fuel available may not have sufficient additives. Deposits could build up in the fuel injection system as a result. In this case, in consultation with a qualified specialist workshop (e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Service Center), mix the fuel with the cleaning additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the notes and mixing ratios indicated on the tank.

Notes on brake fluid
Observe the notes on operating fluids

WARNING Risk of an accident due to vapor pockets forming in the brake system

The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air. This lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard. This causes the braking effect to be impaired.

• Have the brake fluid renewed at the specified intervals.

Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop. Only use a brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval

Coolant
Notes on coolant
Observe the notes on operating fluids

WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury from antifreeze

If antifreeze comes into contact with hot parts in the engine compartment, it may ignite.

• Allow the engine to cool down before adding antifreeze.
• Make sure that no antifreeze spills out next to the filler opening.
• Thoroughly clean off any antifreeze from parts before starting the vehicle.

NOTE Damage caused by incorrect coolant

• Only use coolant that has been premixed with the required antifreeze protection.

Coolant information is available at the following locations:

• In the Mercedes-Benz Specification for Operating Fluids 320.1
• At a qualified specialist workshop

NOTE Overheating at high outside temperatures

If an inappropriate coolant is used, the cooling system is not sufficiently protected against overheating and corrosion at high outside temperatures.

• Only use coolant approved for Mercedes-Benz.
• Observe the instructions in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids 320.1.

Have the coolant regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop. The proportion of antifreeze concentrate in the cooling system:

• A minimum of 50% (antifreeze protection down to about -35°F (-37°C))
• A maximum of 55% (antifreeze protection down to -49°F (-45°C))

Notes on windshield washer fluid
Observe the notes on operating fluids

WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury from windshield washer concentrate

Windshield washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or the exhaust system.

• Make sure that no windshield washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.

NOTE Damage to the exterior lighting due to unsuitable windshield washer fluid

Unsuitable windshield washer fluid may damage the plastic surface of the exterior lighting.

• Only use windshield washer fluid which is also suitable for use on plastic surfaces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit.

NOTE Blocked spray nozzles caused by mixing windshield washer fluids

• Do not mix MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit with other windshield washer fluids.

Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Otherwise, the fill level sensor may be triggered erroneously. Recommended windshield washer fluid:

• Above freezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit
• Below freezing point: e.g. MB WinterFit

For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the information on the antifreeze container. Mix washing water with windshield washer fluid all year round.
