Checking operating fluids
Checking the brake fluid
A constant fluid level is necessary to en
sure that the car's brake system remains
in perfect working order.
>Important!
Have the brake fluid topped up only by a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. in a
smart center.
Checking the brake fluid level
쮿 Look down into the reservoir for a vi
sual check.
> The fluid level must lie between the
MIN and MAX marks.
쮿 If the level is slightly below the MIN
mark, take your car to a qualified spe
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
쮿 If the level is significantly below the
MIN mark, call a breakdown recovery
service, e.g. smartmove Assistance or
a qualified specialist workshop,
such as a smart center.
Accident risk!
If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapour bubbles could
form in the brake system when the
brakes are subjected to high loads
(e.g. when driving down mountain pass
es). This would impair braking effi
ciency. Have the brake fluid changed
every two years!
