The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Brabus Smart SB 1 (1998-2001) and SD 1 (1999-2002) share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.7 liters, which is a service fill figure representing the amount of fluid the unit holds during normal operation rather than a full overhaul drain-and-fill quantity.
  • A transaxle configuration combines the transmission and axle differential into a single housing, meaning the 1.7-liter capacity covers lubrication for both the gear set and the final drive within one shared fluid volume.
  • The check interval for both the SB 1 and SD 1 manual transaxle is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval is classified under normal use, meaning the schedule applies to standard driving conditions rather than more demanding or severe operating environments.
  • The SB 1 entered production in 1998, while the SD 1 followed a year later with a 1999 start date, yet both arrived at the same 1.7-liter transaxle capacity and identical service check intervals despite the staggered introduction.
