Check brake fluid level - The brake fluid level must lie between the markings
“MIN” and “MAX” » Fig. 323.

standard meets the requirements of FMVSS 116 DOT4).
WARNING■ The following warning instructions must be followed at all times when
working in the engine compartment » page 268.■
If the fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below
the “MIN” » Fig. 323mark, this may be an indication of a leak in the brake
system. 
Stop driving - There is a risk of an accident! Seek help from a

■ The brake fluid is changed as part of a compulsory inspection service.■A low brake fluid level which is too low is indicated by the warning light
 being shown on the display of the instrument cluster as well as the corre-
sponding message » page 35. We therefore recommend that you check the

The vehicle battery represents a power source for the motor to start and for the supply of electrical consumers in the car.
Automatic consumer shutdown - discharge protection of the vehicle battery
The on-board power supply tries as follows to avoid draining the vehicle bat-
tery when it is heavily loaded.
▶ By increasing the engine idle speed.
▶ By limiting the power of certain consumers.
▶ By turning off some consumers (heated seats, heated rear window) for as
long as necessary.
