WARNING
ARNING Risk of an accident due to
va pour poc kets form ing in the brake sys-
tem
The brake 0uid cons tantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of the
brake 0uid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va pour poc kets may form inthe brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking e.ect. #
Have the brake 0uid rene we d at the
speci/ed inter vals. *
N
NOOTE
TE Damage topaint, plastic or rubber
by brake 0uid There is a
risk of damage toproperty if brake
0uid comes into contact with paint, plastic or
ru bber. #
If paint, plastic or rubber comes into con-
ta ct with brake 0uid, rinse with water
immediatel y. Obser
vethe no tes on paintwork/matt /nish paint-
wo rkcare (/ page 231).
Ha ve the brake 0uid rene we dev ery two years at a
qu ali/ed specialist workshop.
Only use brake 0uid appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz in
accordance with MB-F reigabe or MB-Appr oval
331.0.
Information on brake 0uid is available at thefo llo w-
ing locations:

The dis tance between the trailer hitch and thero ad
sur face on an unladen vehicle depends on the
