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.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser- vice products when handling brake fluid
(Y page 384).
Use only brake fluid approved for Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabeor MB-Approval

obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at
