Brake fluid<br />

During vehicle operation, the boiling point<br />

of the brake fluid is continuously reduced<br />

through the absorption of moisture from<br />

the atmosphere.<br />

Warning! G<br />

Under extremely strenuous operating conditions,<br />

this moisture content can lead to the<br />

formation of bubbles in the system, thus reducing<br />

the system’s efficiency.<br />

Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced<br />

regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance<br />

Booklet for replacement interval.<br />

Only brake fluid approved by<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> is recommended. Your authorized<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Center will provide<br />

you with additional information.<br />
