Brake fluid level

If you discover that the brake fluid level in

the brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the
MIN mark or below, check the brake
system for leaks immediately. Also check
the brake lining thickness. Contact a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
immediately.
Do not top up the brake fluid. This will not
rectify the malfunction.

Only check the brake fluid level when the
vehicle is stationary and on a level surface.

The brake fluid level is correct if it is between
MIN marking ; and MAX marking : on the
brake fluid reservoir.
