Notes:
When disconnecting vehicle battery for
one or more days at a time, such days
will not be counted. Any such days not
counted by the FSS can be added by
your Mercedes-Benz dealer.
The interval between services is
determined by the kind of vehicle
operation. Driving at extreme speeds,
and cold starts combined with short
distance driving in which the engine
does not reach normal operating
temperature, reduce the interval
between services.
The FSS allows for distances between
10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) and
15 000 miles (Canada: 22 500 km), or
from 365 to 730 days between services.
However you choose to set your
reference numbers, the scheduled
services as posted in the Service
Booklet must be followed to properly
care for your vehicle.
