Mercedes-Benz GLC : Operating fluids / Notes on brake fluid
Observe the notes on operating fluids.
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake system
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapor pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking effect to be
impaired.
Have the brake fluid
renewed at the
specified intervals.
Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Only use a brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
331.0.
Observe the notes on operating fluids.
NOTE Engine damage caused by an
incorrect oil filter, incorrect oil or additives
Do not use engine oils or
oil filters other
than those which meet the specifications
necessary for the prescribed
service intervals...
Notes on coolant
Observe the notes on operating fluids.
WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury from
antifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot
component parts in the engine compartment,
it may ignite...
Other information:
Some systems will perform a self-test when the
ignition is switched on. Some indicator and
warning lamps may briefly light up or flash. This
behavior is non-critical. These indicator and
warning lamps indicate a malfunction only if they
light up or flash after the engine has been started
or during a journey...
Requirements:
The engine has been warmed up.
The vehicle is parked on a level surface.
The engine is running at idle speed.
The hood is closed.
The engine oil level is determined during driving.
Determining the engine oil level can take up to
30 minutes with a normal driving style and even
longer with an active driving style...
