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.
For more information, see “Windshield and
headlamp washer fluid mixing ratio”

i
If you are operating the vehicle where
temperatures may fall below freezing:
ț Vehicles without heated windshield
washer system:
Use a fluid mixture (MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate “S” and com-
mercially available washer sol-
vent/antifreeze) that will provide
sufficient protection against freez-
ing in the area you are operating the
vehicle in.
ț Vehicles with heated windshield
washer system*:
A fluid mixture (MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate "S" and com-
mercially available washer sol-
vent/antifreeze) produced to resist
freezing at temperatures of approx-
imately 14 ° F (-10 ° C) should be
sufficient.
To determine if your vehicle is
equipped with a heated windshield
washer system*, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
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.
!
Only use washer fluid which is suitable
for plastic lenses. Improper washer flu-
id can damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
