WARNING
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of moisture
from the atmosphere. Under extremely
strenuous operating conditions, this
moisture content can lead to the formation
of bubbles in the system, thus reducing the
system's efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced
regularly. Refer to your vehicle's
Maintenance Booklet for replacement
interval.
Only brake fluid approved by smart is
recommended. Any authorized electric
drive smart center will provide you with
additional information.
