& WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake sys‐
Approval
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
229.5, 229.6
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapor pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking effect to be
impaired.
Have the brake fluid renewed at the
#
specified intervals.
Have the brake fluid regularly changed at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
Capacity
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz
7.4 US qt (7.0 l)
according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
6.9 US qt (6.5 l)
