1 Washer fluid reservoir
Fluid for the windshield washer system and

from the windshield washer reservoir. It

During all seasons, add MB Windshield

in a suitable container.
̈ Refill the reservoir with MB Windshield
Washer Concentrate “MB SummerFit”
and water (or commercially available
premixed windshield washer sol-
vent/antifreeze, depending 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 system” (

ble. Do not spill washer solvent/antifreeze

plastic lenses. Improper washer fluid can dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
