Windshield washer system and
headlamp cleaning system*
The windshield washer reservoir is located
in the engine compartment.
1 Washer fluid reservoir
Fluid for the windshield washer system and
the headlamp cleaning system is supplied
from the windshield washer reservoir. It
has a capacity of:
ț Vehicles without headlamp cleaning
system: approximately 4.8 US qt (4.5
l).
ț Vehicles with headlamp cleaning sys-
tem: approximately 7.4 US qt (7 l).
During all seasons, add MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate “S” to water. Premix
the windshield washer fluid in a suitable
container.
̈ Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate and water (or
commercially available premixed wind-
shield washer solvent/antifreeze, de-
pending on ambient temperatures).
Always use washer solvent/antifreeze
where temperatures may fall below
freezing point. Failure to do so could re-
sult in damage to the washer sys-
tem/reservoir.
More information can be found in the
“Technical data” section (
୴ page 407).
!
Only use washer fluid which is suitable
for plastic lenses. Improper washer flu-
id can damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
i
The windshield washer system on this
vehicle is heated, so a fluid mixture pro-
duced to resist freezing at tempera-
tures of approximately 14° F (-10° C)
should be sufficient.
Warning! G
Washer solvent/antifreeze is highly flam-
mable. Do not spill washer solvent/
antifreeze on hot engine parts, because it
may ignite and burn. You could be seriously
burned.
