BRAKES OVERHEATED
DRIVE CAREFULLY
The brake system is overheated due
to an excessive load on the brakes.
왘 Relieve the load on the brake system.
왘 Drive more smoothly and think ahead to
avoid unnecessary braking.
왘 When driving down slopes, shift into a lower
gear to use the engine’s braking power
(
컄 page 182).
왘 Cautiously continue driving so that the air
stream will cool down the brakes.

BRAKE FLUID
PLEASE CHECK LEVEL
There is insufficient brake fluid in the
reservoir.
왘 Risk of accident! Stop the vehicle in a safe lo-
cation and notify an authorized Maybach
Studio. Do not add brake fluid! This will not
solve the problem.
Failure to follow these instructions increases the
risk of accident.
Warning! G
Driving with the message
BRAKE FLUID
PLEASE CHECK LEVEL
displayed can result in
an accident. Have your brake system
checked immediately.
Low brake fluid in the reservoir may cause
the braking system to fail!
Do not add brake fluid before checking
the brake system. Overfilling the brake flu-
id reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid
on hot engine parts and the brake fluid
catching fire. You can be seriously burned.
