Operation
Engine compartment
Windshield washer system and
headlamp cleaning system
Fluid for the windshield washer system and
the headlamp cleaning system is supplied
from the windshield washer reservoir. It
has a capacity of approx. 7.4 US qt. (7 l).
During all seasons, add MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate “S” to water. Pre-mix
the windshield washer fluid in a suitable
container.
̈ Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate and water (or
commercially available pre-mixed
windshield washer solvent/antifreeze,
depending on ambient temperatures).
Always use washer solvent/antifreeze
where temperatures may fall below
freezing. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the washer system/reser-
voir.
The windshield washer system on this ve-
hicle is heated, so that a fluid mixture pro-
duced for temperatures of approximately
14°F (–10°C) should be sufficient.
More information can be found in the
“Technical data” section (
page 347).

burned.

for plastic lenses. Improper washer flu-
id can damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
