WARNING
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under extremely
strenuous operating conditions, this mois-
ture content can lead to the formation of
bubbles in the system, thus reducing the
system’s efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Mainte-
nance Booklet for replacement interval.
Only brake fluid approved by smart is rec- ommended. Any authorized electric drive
smart center will provide you with addi-
tional information. Windshield/rear window washer system

suitable container depending on the out-
side temperature and in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions 14
