Brake Fluid
During the course of the operation of
the vehicle, the boiling point of the
brake fluid is continuously being
reduced through the absorption of
m oisture 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.
