Top off with distilled water
Top off both tanks with distilled water, either way you are AOK with water and back on the road for your trip. Hopefully you don't need much and can rest easy. You wont be diluting much and it is much better than mixing chemicals.
BTW sometimes my car confuses the messages, ie says coolant and means windshield washer.

I got the same message and topped off my washer fluid with MB concentrate and water. The coolant message also went away when I did this. I asked the tech about this and he said they are both wired parallel and that is why you get both messages together. This sounds really stupid to me though.

the coolant and wiper fluid wires are connected together?!
omg..thats the worst thing i have heard from MB !
to me, it is a scam, as dealers will ask their customers to top off the wiper fluid and coolant fluid at the same time!
