Brake fluid
WARNING
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill). This would impair braking efficiency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at regular intervals. The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes- Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can be obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Have the brake fluid renewed regularly at a qualified specialist workshop.
