Mercedes-Benz GLA — 刹车油

DOT 4 LV brake fluid, same as A-Class and CLA. Replace every 2 years in Malaysia's humidity. Cost at 4M Car Care. Spongy pedal or increased stopping distance indicate degraded fluid.

Mercedes-Benz specifies DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) brake fluid — critical for BlueEFFICIENCY braking systems that use electro-hydraulic actuation. Regular DOT 4 can be used but is not optimal. Mercedes mandates brake fluid replacement every 2 years regardless of mileage — in Malaysia's humidity this is especially important as moisture absorption lowers the boiling point. Brake fluid flush costs at independent workshops. Never use DOT 5 (silicone) fluid in Mercedes-Benz hydraulic systems.
