Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point.
G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This would
impair braking efficiency.
Have the brake fluid renewed every two
years with a brake fluid that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this
confirmed in the Service Booklet.
i
There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due.
Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approxi-
mately 7 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system* and the
