Brake Fluid
During the course of the operation of
the vehicle, the boiling point of the
brake fluid is continuously reduced
through the absorption of moisture
from the atm osphere. Under
extrem ely hard operating conditions,
this m oisture content can lead to the
form ation of vapor in the system thus
reducing the system 's efficiency. The
brake fluid m ust therefore be
replaced annually, preferably in the
spring. It is recom m ended to use only
brake fluid approved by MERCEDES-
BENZ.
