Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
!
Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and rub-
ber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come into
contact with brake fluid, rinse with water
immediately.
Only use brake fluids approved for Sprinter vehi-
cles. Always check for the identification DOT 4
plus.
Information about approved brake fluids can be
found in the Maintenance Booklet or obtained at
any qualified specialist workshop.

Coolant
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!
Take care not to spill any coolant on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
When handling, storing and disposing of coolant
and antifreeze, please observe the relevant reg-
ulations and the safety notes in the "Service
products and capacities" section (
Y page 277).
