& WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
Approval
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
229.5, 229.6
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
Capacity
#
specified intervals.
Have the brake fluid regularly changed at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz
according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
