checked at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
There is no need for you to check the oil
level in the ABC system. In the event of
visible oil loss or malfunction messages in
the display, have the ABC system checked
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
