Mercedes-Benz ML320. Manual — part 635

the regulation filling of 50 vol.% (-37°C). When topping up (after coolant loss), an anticorrosion/
antifreeze agent content in the coolant of at least 50 vol. % (antifreeze protection down to -37°C) must be
ensured, or the concentration regulations according to point 2.3/2.4.1 must be observed. In closing an
example is given in Overview Section 5.

Non observance a observance of these regulations or the use of non-approved products will

result in serious damage.

The corrosion inhibitors diminish during operation and lose their protective capability. Coolant that is too
old, and has lost its important inhibitors and anti-aging additives, becomes strongly corrosive. The
coolant additives as under Sheets 311.0 and 312.0 will also age. This causes a deterioration in the level of
protection capability, and with regard to coolant refining agents this will also cause the emulsion to break
down.

For this reason it is important to replace the coolant, in order to ensure that its corrosion protection
capability is retained. If necessary the cooling system should be thoroughly cleansed before refilling with
the new coolant. A sufficient level of heat dissipation will only be given if the cooler surfaces are clean.

The maximum permissible period of usage for coolant is cited in Overview Section 5.

The use of approved operating fluids, which naturally include the anticorrosion/antifreeze agents, is
a well-known constituent of the warranty conditions.

4. Disposal of coolants

The coolants are biologically-degradable material.

All statutory regulations or waste water regulations in each individual country with regard to the disposal
of used coolant must be observed.

It is recommended to have the possibilities available for disposing of materials explained by the local
responsible water authorities.

Currently in Germany methods are being compiled for the purification of used coolant. The separate
collection of all used operating fluids is highly recommended.

However, as a consequence of the complex tasks asked of a modern coolant, it is on no account advisable
to use an improperly "recycled" coolant, which has only undergone a mechanical pre-purification process
