WARNING
Brake fluid is hazardous to health. Do not
swallow brake fluid. See a doctor immediately
if you swallow brake fluid.
Make sure that brake fluid does not come into
contact with skin, clothing or eyes. Rinse
affected areas with plenty of clean water and
consult a doctor if necessary.
Always wear gloves and eye protection when
topping up brake fluid.
Store brake fluid only in the original closed
container and keep it out of the reach of chil-
dren. Comply with safety regulations when
handling brake fluid. G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
! Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and
rubber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come
into contact with brake fluid, rinse with
water immediately.
Only use brake fluids approved for Sprinter
vehicles. Always check for the identification
DOT 4 plus.
Information about approved brake fluids can
be found in the Maintenance Booklet or
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop. 328
