Notes on brake fluid
Observe the notes on operating fluids
( → page 234).
& WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
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.
* NOTE Damage to paint, plastic or rubber
by brake fluid
There is a risk of damage to property if brake
fluid comes into contact with paint, plastic or
rubber.
If paint, plastic or rubber comes into
#
contact with brake fluid, rinse with
water immediately.
Observe the notes on paintwork/matte finish
paintwork care ( page 183).

Have the brake fluid replaced regularly at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz
in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
331.0.

& WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury from
antifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com‐
ponent parts in the engine compartment, it
may ignite.
Allow the engine to cool down before
#
adding antifreeze.
Make sure that no antifreeze spills out
#
next to the filler opening.
Thoroughly clean off any antifreeze from
#
component parts before starting the
vehicle.
