WARNING
The brake fluid must always be changed after the first 3 years and then ev-
ery 2 years (the intervals may be different for specific countries). Longer in-
tervals between changing the brake fluid can cause vapour bubbles to form
in the brake system on sharp braking. This can impair the efficiency of the
brakes – risk of accident!
Note
For diesel operation with a high sulphur content, the oil must be changed every
7,500 km. Ask your specialist garage for information on the countries where
diesel fuel has a high sulphur content.
