Warning!
Driving with the message "Brake fluid

an accident. Have your brake system
checked immediately. Do not add brake flu-
id before checking the brake system. Over-
filling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and
the brake fluid catching fire. You can be se-
riously burned.

Possible cause/consequence
The brake pads have reached their wear
limit.
You are driving with the parking brake set.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the res-
ervoir.
!
G
If you find that the brake fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the
minimum mark or below, have the
brake system checked for brake pad
thickness and leaks.
Possible solution
Have the brake pads replaced as soon
as possible.
Release the parking brake
( page 50).
Risk of accident! Stop the vehicle in a
safe location as soon as possible and
notify an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Do not add brake fluid! This
will not solve the problem.

Brake pad thickness must be visually
checked by a qualified technician at the
intervals specified in the Maintenance
Booklet.
