W463 G500 2000 brake fluid - confused!

Hi everyone!
Im brand new to this forum, I'm a Norwegian living in Oslo.
for 6 months ago I got a G500 2000 with just 42.000km on the odometer. I love it!

Its time to change the brake fluid, and I got confused because it looks like it has a clutch master reservoir. It contains some very very dirty brake fluid. But I thought this was only part of manual gear cars? Mine is the 5 speed automatic, what is this reservoir for?

Would be grateful for any help solving this mystery!

Cheers,
Thomas

That small reservoir is for your Diff Locks. The diff locks need to be bled, too. See the attachment for instructions.
