&
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapour pockets forming in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake sys‐
tem when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking effect.
#
Have the brake fluid renewed at the
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.

WARNING Risk of fire‑ and injury from
antifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot
component parts in the engine compart‐
ment, it may ignite.
#
Allow the engine to cool down before
you top up the antifreeze.
#
Make sure that no antifreeze spills out
next to the filler opening.
#
Thoroughly clean the antifreeze from
component parts before starting the
vehicle.
*
NOTE Damage caused by incorrect cool‐
ant
#
Only add coolant that has been pre‐
mixed with the required antifreeze pro‐
tection.

NOTE Overheating at high outside tem‐
peratures
If an inappropriate coolant is used, the
engine cooling system is not sufficiently pro‐
tected against overheating and corrosion at
high outside temperatures.
