lamp comes on while
driving and you hear a
warning sound.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the reser-
voir.

Risk of accident! Do not drive any fur-
ther. Consult a Mercedes-Benz Center.
Under no circumstances should you top
up the brake fluid. This will not solve the
problem.
Warning!
G
Driving with the brake warning lamp illumi-
nated can result in an accident. Have your
brake system checked immediately if the
brake warning lamp stays on. Do not add
brake fluid before checking the brake
system. Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid on hot en-
gine 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.
