On a new vehicle, the engine is filled
with break-in oil in the factory. This oil
is specially developed for the specific
operating conditions during the first
1300-1600 km/800 -1 0 0 0 miles.
A recommended engine oil may be
used for topping up if the oil level
drops below the dipstick mini
mum mark prior to the first service
1300-1600 km /800-1000 miles.
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 atmosphere. Linder
extremely hard operating conditions,
this moisture content can lead to the
formation of vapor in the system, thus
reducing the system's efficiency. The
brake fluid must therefore be
replaced annually, preferably in the
spring. It is recommended to use only
brake fluid approved by MERCEDES-
BENZ.
Your MERCEDES-BENZ dealer will
provide you with additional informa
tion.
