From page 109 of the manual:
Checking Coolant Level:
To check the coolant level, the vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine stopped.
Check coolant level only when coolant is cold.
The coolant level should reach the black top part of the reservoir.
Adding Coolant:
If coolant has to be added, a 50/50 mixture of water and MB anticorrosion/antifreeze should be added.
From page 160:
The water in the cooling system must meet minimum requirements, which are usually satisfied by normal drinking water.
