Notes
The Maintenance System in your vehicle
tracks distance driven and the time elapsed
since the last maintenance service, calcu-
lates other maintenance service work
required, and calls for the next maintenance
service accordingly.
We strongly recommend that you have your
vehicle serviced at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center, in accordance with the Mainte-
nance Booklet at the times called for by the
maintenance service indicator.
i Failure to have the vehicle maintained in
accordance with the Maintenance Booklet
and maintenance service indicator at the
designated times/mileage (kilometers) will
result in vehicle damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
