No, DO NOT use modern ATF in your older MB power steering!!!

Modern Dexron or Mercon evolved drastically since your owners manual was printed some twenty years ago. These modern ATF's have been improved for use in automatic transmissions. The newer additives are totally UNHEALTHY for the seals in your p/s unit. Been there, done that!

Just go to the auto supply and buy power steering fluid. It is more expensive than ATF, but will make your seals and pump last virtually forever.

If you absolutely insist on using ATF, find some Type A.

Have a great day,
