Check Brake Fluid
Level
There is insufficient brake fluid in the res-
ervoir. Risk of accident!
X Stop the vehicle in a safe location or as soon
as it is safe to do so.
X Do not drive any further.
X Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or call Roadside Assistance.
Do not add brake fluid! This will not solve the
problem.
G Warning!
Driving with the message Check Brake Fluid Level displayed can result in an accident. Have your brake system checked immediately.
Do not add brake fluid before checking the brake system. Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts and the brake fluid catching fire. You can be seriously burned.
! If you find that the brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the minimum mark or below, have the brake system checked for
brake pad thickness and leaks.
